Lost Season 4 Preview and expectations! Part 2

Well....If you are reading this and did not read Part 1 then you must stop now, do not continue any further and go here to get caught up. In this previous post I stressed the importance of first seeing the Season 4 Trailer as well as the webisodes titled the Missing Pieces found on ABC's site. As previously mentioned in part 1, the Valenzetti Equation seems to be one of the (if not THE) reason for the start of the DHARMA Initiative. This equation is a mathematical equation and the Arrow station was believed to possibly a storage facility as well as a station for working out mathematical problems. The Valenzetti Equation is that of a mystery. While it is believed to predict the end of the world there is not much that can be found online and what is found is not necessarily from credible sources. There appears to be a page built by Valenzetti's son. The Valenzetti Foundation is a website created by Enzo'z son and is said repeatedly to have nothing to do with ABC, however everything he talks about is related to the show Lost. In fact in pictures of the equations taken from his father's notebook are the Lost Numbers, 4 8 15 16 23 42. He states on the website that the first two are from his birthday of April 8th. This equation had a book written about it. The author Gary Troup was on board Oceanic Flight 815 and died in the crash. Interestingly enough, Alvar Hanso bought all copies of the book and also owns the distribution rights to it. The book however is listed on Amazon and you can see it here. Gary Troup was a pen name for author Laurence Shames. Gary Troup actually was on the show Lost and was in the Pilot episode and was the one sucked into the planes turbine after the crash. Also interesting is the fact that Gary Troup is an anagram for the word "purgatory" however the writers have specifically ruled out purgatory as a theory as to what the island is. Gary Troup was also in love with Oceanic stewardess Cindy Chandler. Cindy is the stewardess who was taken by the others on day 48.
In the Season 4 Trailer involving Dr. Marvin Candle posing as Edgar Halowax he says he is at a DHARMA station the Orchid. The Orchid is portrayed as a botanical research station but is later proved to be not true. It in actuality houses a number of white rabbits each with a number on their backs. Most importantly in this little clip is the reference to the Casimir effect. This has quickly become a very popular theory in possibly what the island is or how it is related to this force. The Casimir effect is a very complicated and complex theory and therefore is very difficult to summarize however I will do my best to do so in as little space as possible. This effect was developed by physicist Hendrik B. G. Casimir. "The Casimir effect can be understood by the idea that the presence of conducting metals and dielectrics alter the vacuum expectation value of the energy of the second quantized electromagnetic field. Since the value of this energy depends on the shapes and positions of the conductors and dielectrics, the Casimir effect manifests itself as a force between such objects." I didn't write that last part. The Casimir effect is related to the show in many ways and in one way it is somewhat of an electromagnetic phenomena. Electromagnetism receives credit for many of the islands strange properties. For example; tidal anomalies, healing properties, and the "monster." To try and better explain the Casimir effect I will use layperson terms. Basically through the Casimir effect a wormhole or blackhole could be created. A wormhole potentially created could make it possible to travel in time, or alternately travel across dimensions. A theory is that what if Naomi was telling the truth about the plane being found and there being no survivors, this theory accounts for that. If the plane while off course and in the air, neared the wormhole, the plane split into two planes and one crashed in the ocean and another crashed on the island. While on one of them all the passengers died and the other they made it onto the island. This could have been the purpose of the Swan station was to control this wormhole, and when Desmond left the station and the anomaly happened it opened the wormhole up and that is when the plane made it through. And now that the Swan station imploded they have no control over the wormhole. Going along with this theory, the Hanso Foundation sent the DHARMA Initiative to the island through there own version of a wormhole to study these traits on the island. Since the DHARMA people were purged is Ben keeping more people from the Hanso Foundation from returning to the island. In regards to electromagnetism, James Clerk Maxwell is a real life expert in the area of electromagnetism.
At this point this is irrelevant however if you play the ARG Find815 then you find out that the main character of the reality game is receiving encoded emails from a Maxwell Group. The Maxwell Group in the ARG is a group who is also funding the search for the Black Rock. The Maxwell Group is a division of Widmore Industries. This is Penny's father's company. Penny is the girlfriend of Desmond Hume. Widmore Industries are supposedly tied to the Hanso Foundation, as well as the Paik Heavy Industries. Widmore Industries appears to have its hand in many business ventures as it's logo or name is seen in many episodes on a variety of products. In a flashback to a Driveshaft video shoot a banner for Widmore Construction is seen in the background. The Widmore logo is also found on the hot air balloon of Henry Gale as well as the pregnancy tests taken by Sun and Kate.
Other things that are seen in episodes throughout the series are the recurrences of the "Lost Numbers" which are 4 - 8 - 15 - 16 - 23 - 42 of which the sum total = 108.
