Girls of a soccer team seen in the foreground of one of Hurley 's airport flashbacks are wearing jerseys with the Numbers on them. If the 4 was a 1 or 7 this would work with all the Numbers. In a Lostpedia interview , David Fury one of the Season 1 writers and co-executive producers talked about how the Numbers were developed: "When I started writing the episode Numbers , I already figured to use numbers that had been heard on the show… 4 number of years Locke was in wheelchair ; 8, 15 Flight , etc.
The original interview does not address Jack and Rose sat in Row 23 " Pilot, Part 1 ". Damon Lindelof did make a comment at Comic Con in that "We may never know what the Numbers mean. There are some questions that are very engaging and interesting, and then there are other questions that we have no interest whatsoever in answering.
We call it the midi-chlorian debate, because at a certain point, explaining something mystical demystifies it. To try and have a character come and say, "Here is what the numbers mean," actually makes every usage of the numbers up to that point less interesting. You can actually watch Star Wars now, and when Obi-Wan talks about the Force to Luke for the first time, it loses its luster because the Force has been explained as, sort of, little biological agents that are in your blood stream.
So you go, "Oh, I liked Obi-Wan's version a lot better. But if you're watching the show for a detailed explanation of what the numbers mean—and I'm not saying you won't see more of them—then you will be disappointed by the end of season six. In a interview with E! Here's the story with numbers. Valenzetti basically deduced that it was percent within the next 27 years, so the Hanso Foundation started the Dharma Initiative in an effort to try to change the variables in the equation so that mankind wouldn't wipe it itself out.
If you start adding and subtracting the Numbers you can make up almost any theory that you want. For example;. Which simply requires n additions and as many subtractions. Since zero can also be created by subtracting any of the numbers from itself, all the natural numbers can be created. Since there exists a bijection between the rational and the natural numbers, this means that any rational number can be constructed using only the numbers 15 and 16 in an integer relation.
This is why using arithmetic in deciding if a number counts as a reference is a somewhat pointless exercise, with two notable exceptions;. Here, the arithmetic is straightforward, and therefore can be construed as intentional, and beyond coincidence. This follows a general rule laid out by Occam's razor of avoiding needless complexity in order to force connections which do not really exist. At the time the Numbers were first prominently featured in the episode Numbers , [The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences] did not have any integer sequences which included the Numbers.
Strangely then, the issue was never actually raised on the main Lost series. Despite remaining on the fringes of Lost 's story, the Valenzetti Equation actually fits neatly alongside the series finale. Enzo Valenzetti doesn't reveal exactly how he predicts the world will end but, in Lost 's final season, Jacob ominously suggests that the Man in Black's escape from the island will have catastrophic consequences for the entire world, although he too is vague about the nature of this threat.
It would make sense that the apocalypse Valenzetti predicted was actually the Man in Black's potential future escape from the island. This would explain why the equation's core values and Jacob's candidates share the same numbers - because each of those six individuals were a core value in stopping the Man in Black. DHARMA, on the other hand, wrongly believed that the numbers were scientific in nature and required a scientific solution. This theory is supported by the fact that each of the six remaining candidates play a key role in the Man in Black's eventual downfall.
If true, this theory would plug a fair few of Lost 's lingering unanswered questions, and its odd that the Valenzetti Equation wasn't a bigger part of the main series, especially since the concept came from the same creative team.
With that said, Lost 's ambiguity is perhaps the main reason fans still discuss the show nearly a decade on from its conclusion. Craig first began contributing to Screen Rant in , several years after graduating college, and has been ranting ever since, mostly to himself in a darkened room.
