Over the past 2 weeks I watched all Lost episodes from season 1 and 2. Can’t wait till the show starts again next week. Wohoo!
To kill time I’m now catching up on all the wild theories regarding the numbers and assorted stuff. Here is some interesting stuff:
Mapquest places you in the middle of Pacific Ocean when you use them as coordinates. Google maps actually shows a real island close to the location of these coordinates.
Someone use the nifty web application to plot the shortest path between Sydney and LA. This would likely be the path taken by most flights between the two cities with some slight variations. Our point, seems to lie just a little bit off that course…
You may want to check out the Shaw-Basho Polynomial thing. One would think that a named polynomial would turn up in Google at least once. But this one only appears in LOST related articles. Obvious fake, but very creative one.
Then there is that stupid Lost Experience immersive reality games. There are tons of clues and snippets of information that are churned out by the game producers, and analyzed to death by players. I’m not sure how much of this is actual LOST canon.
Someone put together all the video snippets released in the game so far and posted them on Youtube. If you are to lazy to click on the link, watch it below:
So the numbers are supposedly factors in the Valenzetti Equation which predicts the time till the collapse human civilization or something like that. The goal of Dharma institute is to change one of these factors by modifying the environment, human behavior and etc..
Interesting stuff, but unless this info trickles into the show somehow then it is just useless peripheral fan service. If they do include this footage in the show, then it would be an awesome treat for the guys who spent countless hours cracking the Lost Experience clues…
Someone at Lostpedia managed to transcribe the Blast Door Map from Swan. Very awesome work:

What is in the Flame hatch? Is the crossed out hatch the fake door that Sayid found in the fake other’s village? There are two other un-named hatches with dashed outlines on there that are left to be discovered.
Note the reference to a zoological facility – this may help to explain the polar bears on the island. Also there is a manufacturing facility note on the map. Hmm…
