Desmond-centric

Carlton Cuse arrives to apologize for the murkiness of last week's episode and explain all the remaining mysteries on the show. The helicopter crashes and everyone aboard dies; having died three times, Naomi is transformed into a Fire Elemental. Sawyer finds the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong and is stalked by a creepy dude with a cattle gun.

Spoiler-free discussion thread.

The only constant about this show is it doesn't make a lick of sense.

How about Kate sucking (not in the good way)? That is pretty much a constant.

That list neglected to include the vernemike.
The vernmike may be key to understanding space-time continuum warping.

One vernemike...

= 279.4 centimeters
= 0.2794 dekameters
= 9.1666667 feet
= 0.1388889 furlongs
= 0.02794 hectometers
= 110 inches
= 0.002794 kilometers
= 2.953332e-016 lightyears
= 2.794 meters
= 2,794,000 microns
= 0.001736111 miles
= 2,794 millimeters
= 2.794e+009 nanometers
= 0.001508636 nautical miles
= 9.054775e-017 parsecs
= 3.055556 yards

One square vernemike...

= 0.001929005 acres
= 78,064.36 square centimeters
= 84.02778 square feet
= 0.0007806436 hectares
= 12,100 square inches
= 7.806436e-006 square kilometers
= 7.806436 square meters
= 3.014082e-006 square miles
= 7,806,436 square millimeters
= 9.33642 square yards

One cubic vernemike...

= 2.181118e+007 cubic centimeters
= 770.2546296296296 cubic feet
= 1,331,000 cubic inches
= 21.81118 cubic meters
= 28.52795 cubic yards
= 92,190.48 cups
= 5,900,151 drams
= 5,761.905 gallons
= 4,797.787 gallons (UK)
= 21,811.18 liters
= 2.181118e+007 milliliters
= 737,523.8 ounces
= 767,646 ounces (UK)
= 46,095.24 pints
= 38,382.31 pints (UK)
= 23,047.62 quarts
= 1,475,048 tablespoons
= 4,425,143 tespoons

Maybe the vernemikes are somehow responsible for the time difference?

If you're going to talk Planck, then hows about Planck time? I love a unit named after toilet paper.

Planck time $t_{\rm P}$

Value	`5.391 24 x 10^-44 s`

Standard uncertainty	`0.000 27 x 10^-44 s`

Relative standard uncertainty	`5.0 x 10^-5`

Concise form	`5.391 24(27) x 10^-44 s`

In physics, the Planck time (t_P), is the unit of time in the system of natural units known as Planck units. It is the time it would take a photon travelling at the speed of light in a vacuum to cross a distance equal to the Planck length.

According to the Big Bang theory nothing is known about the universe at time=0, though it is presumed that all fundamental forces coexisted and that all matter, energy, and spacetime expanded outward from an extremely hot and dense singularity. One Planck time after the event is the closest that theoretical physics can get to it, and at that time it appears that the fundamental forces separated somehow.

One second is about 1.855×10⁴³ Planck times. The estimated age of the Universe in the Big Bang theory (4.3×10¹⁷ s) would be roughly 8×10⁶⁰ Planck times. The average life expectancy of a human is approximately 3.9×10⁵² Planck times.

As of 2006, the smallest unit of time that has been directly measured is on the attosecond (10⁻¹⁸ s) time scale, or around 10²⁶ Planck times.

I just hope that one need not be a physicist to understand this upcoming episode.

What the fuck? Nah, fuck all those numbers. ABC press release people probably just misspelled "The Consonant"

So which one is it? I claim J!

Nope, you're both wrong. It's "D" for Desmond. :op
