Again, I don't see how this has anything to do with the fail-safe key. Obviously we know that the electromagnetic release is what lead the island to be visible by the outside world. What we don't know is if there are any other symptoms of that action (like, I dont' know... maybe causing someone who was exposed to that level of electromagnitism to be able to live outside the rules of conventional time and space).
Your evidence just seems to support that Des is Faraday's Constant. Which is an issue that isn't being debated. I just don't how what you've posted supports your idea that being Faraday's constant is equal to being able to bend the rules of time travel. Sorry.
I'm slow. Forgive me. I'll just trust that you know what you mean. And once it's explained on the show, I'll pipe up with an "oooooh. I see what you mean!" if you're right.
For now though, I think we're just going around in circles. Maybe I'm not being clear. Whatever. It's not that big of deal. Thanks for the responses though.
