This theory, although full of holes, is related somewhat to the earlier mentioned theory about a "snow globe"...

The theory is that the Dharma initiative began as an experiment in time travel which opened up a semi-permanent rift in the space time continuum. The rift opens every 108 minutes. Typing the numbers into the computer sets off a magnetic chain reaction (heavy duty magnetic-physics hardware in the Swan Station) that basically shuts the rift, much like a tear being the re-sewn in a piece of cloth.

When Desmond was on the other side of the island forgetting to type in the numbers, the rift opened, and in flew flight 815, into the far future.

The future is the post-apocalyptic earth, after many years of global warming and rising sea levels. This "island" is actually the peak of a large mountain, once located in Antarctica.

After the original Dharma time-travel project, past the present time, The Dharma company realized that rising sea levels would wipe out the human race. They decided to colonize the area in the Antarctic with a surviving group of humans, thus the Others. The Others are the last surviving remnants of human beings on the planet.

The Others were left with all human records, including the information on one flight 815 that disappeared completely in September of 2004. All of the passenger information was (or will be?) in one big Other Library.

When Benry told Jack about the major events that had happened (Red Sox winning the series, Bush being reelected etc) since the plane crash, he had been basically reading a history book.

When Desmond went off in the boat and returned saying there was nothing out there, he was telling the truth. The whole world has been submerged by the rising oceans.

Desmond hasn't been made clairvoyant. He's been to the near future and back due to the implosion of the Swan. He doesn't quite realize what he's experienced or where (when) he's been.

Desmond's girl Penelope is on to the whole Time rift thing. She's got a couple of Portuguese scientists sitting near the area in the Antarctic, mapping out magnetic disturbances.

The black smoke is a somewhat human manifestation of the time rift. It wants to survive. It uses the memories of those who threaten it to defend itself.

Hmmm?

It is a good thought Torry. The rain also always seemed to be around when Walt was able to project his image and send messages to the Losties. The rain also seems to get rid of the monster too wouldn't you say?

Season 2
Jack says "I've got time." ("Man of Science, Man of Faith")
The countdown timer repeatedly counted down indicating when the Numbers needed typed in. ("Adrift")
Referring to a source of a radio transmission, Sayid said, "It could be coming from anywhere." Hurley responded, "Or any time. Just kidding, dude." ("The Long Con")
Michael was given three minutes with Walt, also the title of the episode. ("Three Minutes")

Season 3
Jack looked for a clock to announce the time of death for Colleen, but he couldn't find one. ("Every Man for Himself")
Aldo was reading A Brief History of Time when he was guarding the building holding Karl. ("Not in Portland")
Ben asks Jack for "3 minutes" since he has only "27 minutes to live". ("Not in Portland")
Dr. Alpert asks Juliet to work for him for six months. ("Not in Portland")
Juliet gives the exact length of her stay on the island. ("Not in Portland")
The company name: Mittelos is an anagram for "lost time". ("Not in Portland")
The voice of a woman repeating "Only fools are enslaved by time and space" can be heard in the reversed version of the Room 23 brainwashing video. This hidden clue may be another Buddhist reference: "The wise know how to use time and space perfectly; they lead free and harmonious lives. Fools are enslaved by time and space; they are busy running around all day. Wise or foolish, the difference is obvious." ("Not in Portland")

Confidence Man-Jessica sees the time on the alarm clock, which leads to Sawyer's con.

Further Instructions-(Locke to Eddie) these things take time.

They were coming back and removing people from Aircraft in flight, which was spooky in it's self, they left Kadivers in the place of the people they removed.
But The Watches broken and turning backwards was a clue to the investigators in this
Might be that the incident in lost's story, played with the events in time and main players in the world were removed before they had carried out, what they had set out to do, like killing Hitler before he became the dictator he did.
Just a thought
