The Wheel/Theories
Origin and environment Edit
- The origin of the wheel is unknown.
- The ancient appearance of the wheel and the room it is located in suggest it may have been constructed by the islands ancient inhabitants, who also built the four toed statue.
- A nautical origin is unlikely because it does not resemble either the helm [1] or the anchor capstan[2] of a ship, such as the USS Constitution, in service since 1797, or the Black Rock.
- The wheel may actually be the Dharmacakra, a symbol representing Dharma (law) in Hinduism and the Buddha's teaching of the path to enlightenment. It is also sometimes translated as wheel of doctrine or wheel of law.
- The frozen chamber had a rickety ladder and a gas lamp in it. DHARMA-built objects tended to be contemporary late-twentieth century in construct. Both the source of the energy that keeps the chamber cold and the reason for doing so are unknown. The ice, itself, appeared to be a product of condensation.
Mechanics Edit
- The Orchid Wheel is the device used to open the reservoir of the Island's "negatively charged exotic matter." There may or may not always be some flow of energy from the matter. The fact that DHARMA was able to detect it would argue in favor of some "seepage."
- Jacob is an avatar of the Island. He is too ephemeral and does not have the power to move the island on his own; he can order/ask/beg that it be moved but the act requires a human being.
- The Orchid Wheel is not mystical in or of itself. It is a tool used to release the energy necessary to move the Island. That energy charges the device that actually moves the Island. Whether that energy is used for any other important purpose is unknown at this time.
- Only three-eighths of the wheel is exposed at any one time. Tethering a donkey or any other draft animal to the wheel, assuming that there were sufficient room to do this, would require more time than the task of turning the wheel. The animal would then be able to push the wheel through a rotation of only one-quarter of its circumference. The animal would then have to un-tethered, led back to the starting position, and re-tethered before beginning again. True donkey wheels are placed so that the animal may continue to walk in a circle.
- Because moving the island is a last resort, those in charge are unlikely expend effort on training draft animals to do the work.
- The Wheel physically moves pieces of exotic matter together, such as in the Casimir Effect, harnessing their energy and dislodging the island from its place in space-time.
The Time Flashes Edit
Ben warned that moving the island using the Orchid station was "both dangerous and unpredictable" ("There's No Place Like Home, Part 1"). After he turned the wheel beneath the station, the people who remained on the island began to unpredictably transport through time, both forwards and backwards.
