Why do certain dead people appear on the Island? Because of his ability to take the form of the dead, most of these appearances were the Man in Black in disguise (such as Yemi, Christian Shephard, Alex Rousseau, John Locke), ("White Rabbit") ("Dead Is Dead") ("Sundown") ("The Last Recruit") while some of them are the Whispers and appear solely to people with the ability of mediumship (such as Ana Lucia Cortez, Claudia and Michael Dawson). ("The Lie") ("Ab Aeterno") ("Everybody Loves Hugo") How was the Man in Black able to appear as Christian Shephard to Jack off the Island?

Each number was the degree of the remaining 6 candidates for his replacement. They were a sort of filing system, as seen in his cave. ("The Substitute") ("Lighthouse") Why did the Numbers appear on the Swan hatch? They were the station's serial number for the hatch lid. ("Some Like It Hoth") Why did reappear regularly both on and off the Island? The Numbers also represent the factors of the core values of the Valenzetti Equation, which predicts the date of the destruction of mankind. These Numbers correspond somehow to various human and environmental factors, likely meaning that they are somehow embedded in the structure of the universe. This is also likely why the Numbers appeared to be cursed. The purpose of the DHARMA Initiative was to alter these values in order to stave off the destruction of mankind. The values were broadcast from the radio tower, with the intent of using the broadcast to determine when DHARMA had succeeded in changed them. ("The Lost Experience")

Template:CharPortalAC	Introduced	Solved
	"Not in Portland"	"LaFleur"
What are the pregnancy issues experienced on the Island? Women who get pregnant on the Island are not able to bear their children to term. Sometime before the third trimester, the women experience a serious miscarriage which results in the deaths of both the child and the mother.

("Do No Harm") ("Not In Portland") ("D.O.C.") ("Ji Yeon") Were women ever able to give birth on the Island? Yes. As late as the 1970s, women were able to carry a child to term on the Island, as seen by Amy's delivery of Ethan. ("LaFleur") What does the Island do to the reproductive systems of its inhabitants? Something on the Island causes the uterus of women on the Island to age and deteriorate rapidly. Men, on the other hand, experience a five-fold increase in their sperm counts while on the Island, possibly due to the healing properties of the Island. ("Not in Portland") ("D.O.C.") Unanswered questions What caused women to be unable to bear children on the Island?

Moving the Island       Frozen wheel	Introduced	Solved
	"Cabin Fever"	"316"

Frozen wheel       Frozen wheel	Introduced	Solved
	"There's No Place Like Home, Parts 2 & 3"	"Across the Sea"
What was the wheel's purpose? Moving the wheel manipulated the Source's electromagnetic power and allowed the person (or animal) who turned to travel through space and time, and when moved from its axis to make the Island skip through time. ("There's No Place Like Home, Parts 2 & 3") ("Because You Left") ("This Place Is Death") ("LaFleur") ("Across the Sea") Why did DHARMA build the Orchid on top of it? They discovered the Wheel while digging to the Source. Since Dr. Chang stated that they did initially plan to use the electromagnetic energy to time travel, they most likely studied the wheel to determine how to use the energy to accomplish it. ("Because You Left") How was the wheel accessed and installed as it predated the DHARMA station? Through the well ("This Place Is Death") ("Across the Sea"), who were built by the Man in Black and the Romans when first discovering the Island's electromagnetic properties. ("Across the Sea") Who built and installed the wheel? The Man in Black. ("Across the Sea")

Time travel       Time travel	Introduced	Solved
	"The Shape of Things to Come"	"316"

Template:CharPortalAC	Introduced	Solved

The Well       The Well	Introduced	Solved
	"This Place Is Death"	"Across the Sea"
Who dug the wells? The Man in Black and Claudia's people. ("Across the Sea") Why were the wells dug? They were dug because the Man in Black wanted to reach the Source and use it as a way to escape the Island. ("Across the Sea") They were dug on top of energy pockets where the Man in Black and his friends were lead by their compasses. ("The Last Recruit")

The Source       The Source	Introduced	Solved
	"Across the Sea"	"The End"
What is the Source? The Source is the electromagnetic core of the island. The electromagnetism found deep within the island originates here and radiates out to other parts of the island, so therefore it exists here in its most powerful form. ("The End") Why must it be protected? The Source must be protected because if the energy is released, it could cause a global catastrophe. Similar to the Swan Incident, the electromagnetic expulsion caused the island to shake, but much more severely. Cliffs began to split in half and there were landslides and rockfalls. If it had escalated, the implications could have been disastrous. ("The End")
