I think the people in the observation station<br \/>\nwere place there for three weeks at a time, just so they weren&#8217;t there<br \/>\nlong enough to observe any long term pattern to what might be going<br \/>\non.   If it were something really important and I only wanted a few<br \/>\npeople to know about it, but needed more people to help me do it,<br \/>\ntelling those extra people it was all part of some experiment would be<br \/>\na good cover.<\/p>\n<p>Why would the Egyptian Heiroglyphics be there after zero?   Why encase<br \/>\nsomething in that much concrete?   Just for a psych experiment?<\/p>\n<p>Another thing, why was it so important for the people in the hatch to<br \/>\nNOT have access to the outside world (via the computer, as Dr. Candle<br \/>\nwarned)?  And why did someone (Kelvin?) think it so important to leave<br \/>\nthat information OUT of the film strip, and hide it?   Was what<br \/>\nhappened during &#8220;the incident&#8221; big enough to blow a big hole in<br \/>\nDharma\/Hanso&#8217;s plans?   Was the person that hid that snippit of film<br \/>\nhoping that it would happen again?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;d be an interesting idea&#8230;.  Set up all this Dharma stuff, doing<br \/>\nwhatever sinister wackiness it does.   Someone catches on, and doesn&#8217;t<br \/>\nlike it, and very nearly causes the whole operation to end.  But not<br \/>\nquite.  They recover just enough to keep going, but at a lesser level<br \/>\nthan before, and with new complications.  Maybe that smoke monster got<br \/>\nreleased.  Maybe it was the French woman&#8217;s expedition.<\/p>\n<p>Is that contraption they&#8217;re pressing the button for in the hatch<br \/>\nsomething that&#8217;s concentrating all the energy from the magnetic<br \/>\nfields?   I mean, say it&#8217;s taking a little bit of that energy at a<br \/>\ntime, building it all up, so it can be used in some way?     Maybe to<br \/>\nmagnify psychic powers (like the healer that Rose met with);  maybe if<br \/>\nit&#8217;s magnetism, to bring down the plane in a semi-controlled way?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But do you think it really is a psych experiment?
