So what theory do you describe to?

THe LOST theory of whatever happens, happens. Regardless of the choice you make there is a predetermined path of events in your life that you can\'t change...OR

The FRINGE theory. There are two alternate timelines. Every decision you make or don\'t make result in two different time lines. Both exist simultaneously but seperate from each other. Your time line is not merely a straight line, but one that constantly shifts to stay consistent with your choices.

This is obviously simple and there are more theories out there, but i think this is a great discussion topic.

Don\'t watch Lost (heard good things but it\'s just in too deep at this point to get into it), but I\'ve been watching Fringe, it\'s been really good lately. You could call it the Back to the Future theory, that\'s all I could think of when I saw Walter drawing that timeline diagram.

As far as which do I "subscribe" to I\'d say, netiher. Life just......... happens.

lost brings a new theory of time and space which i had never even thought about before. it\'s basically stating that everything is predetermined, and everyone has a fate or "destiny".

i grew up on back to the future, thinking that if you changed something in the past, it would change the future. hence marty mccfly disappearing in the picture until his parents made out at the under the sea dance.

lost still suggests there are variables which can alter the future, which is basically where we are in the show now. personally, i think it\'s too scientific, and i don\'t exactly agree with a lot of scientific theory.

i don\'t think lost is really \'what happened, happened\'. and i think fringe is hinting at what it will be closer to.

that said, i believe that in this universe, things are predetermined. in this reality, you are doing this set of things. however, with the advent and continual reinforcement of membrane theory, i believe that at this moment in time, we are all doing an infinite amount of differing things in various parallel universes.

for example, in this universe i chose to wear a blue shirt today. in another, perhaps it was red. in another, perhaps it was also blue, but a different shirt. but all of these decisions were made at the same time.

i also tend to think that certain dreams are actually a look into your other realities.

I believe in the theory that Ray Romano stole my life story and made a TV show about it...

We are the total sum of all of our collective decisions.

I am where I am because I have chosen to be here.

Conscience or not is another question.
