The Island

The island is one of the antagonists in the series. It throws obstacles at the Others and survivors, it moves through time and space, it is mysterious, and it is unexplainable

Moving the Island
As you can recall, the island moves through time and space, sometimes at random. Is this possible in reality? Yes, it is. In a 2008 Popular Mechanics article it studies how the island "moved" and examined the possibility, coming up with the fact that it is possible, and not as hard as you'd think. You can technically move anything, however, the larger the object, the harder it is. I could move a thumb tack with almost no difficulty compared to the universe. When the Big Bang occured, it created space, matter and time. The trick is to adjust its relationtionship to the space-time continuam. The space-time continuam is the theory that space and time will continue on from zero-time (since the Big Bang) no matter what happens in the universe. Popular Mechanics puts it as "''According to Einstein's discovery, the presence of mass-energy warps space-time; what we perceive as gravity is just the curvature of space-time. That's the Theory of General Relativity, now firmly established by experimental tests. Here's a simple example of how you can change distances without moving. The distance between the Sun and Alpha-Centauri is about 4.3 light years. If a small black hole passed in between, the gravitational effects on the two stars would be negligible—yet the direct line distance between the two would become infinite. The two stars haven't moved; rather, you have changed the nature of space in the in-between region. The black hole has an infinitely deep space warp surrounding it. Of course, if you want to travel between the two stars, just go around—avoid the black hole."
