Daniel's Experiment
The clock in the rocket is 31 minutes AHEAD of Daniel's clock (one is rectangular the other is not).
We know that there is a wormhole in play here. This has been suggested by the appearance of Steven Hocking's "A Brief History of Time" opened to the specific pages about wormholes. Then, ABC.com released the short of Dr. Edgar Hallowax (or whatever he's calling himself these days) with the two bunnies with the same number on them. He specifically mentions the "Casimir Effect". Without going into a whole Physics lecture, Casimir Effect + wormhole = faster-than-light-travel and/or time travel.
The Cliff Notes on wormhole-time-travel is this: There are two ends to a wormhole time machine. One moves really fast, the other stays still. Time passes faster on the end that stays still than it does on the end that moves. So, one end can be at 2004 and the other at 2007. If you travel inside the wormhole, you come out in that time. If you travel outside of the worm hole, you stay in your own time. The reason Dan thinks this is bad, and tells Frank to follow the same heading that they came in on (although he means the exact 180' opposite heading), because they need travel inside the wormhole to make it back to their own spacetime. If they deviate, and travel outside of the wormhole, they might end up someplace and sometime random. It would be bad.
Minkowski space:
German mathematician Hermann Minkowski came up with the idea of spacetime.
The guy on the phone the newcomers are talking to is named Minkowski.
Time travel could explain the people who seem to keep coming back from the dead on the island. If someone, like Ben, for example, wanted to exploit the time travel effect of the wormhole to bring someone back from the dead, all they would need to do is go back to a time before the person was killed and take them through the wormhole. They would essentially travel to their future and still be alive. Or, be alive again.
Next: I will post my notes from the first three episodes of season 4.
