When Ben sees his mother in the forest as a boy, he goes in after her, that’s where he sees what’s his name, who hasn’t aged at all. He looks the same even though Ben is older. How does that work? And why is the Russian indestructible?

I believe that the aging and the “indestructibility” are the same thing, and related to the person’s connection to the island.
My theory is that the stronger connection you have to the island (or the forces behind it, etc.), the more your body will heal itself. We’ve seen it with Locke and others many times, and I think Patchy is the same. I don’t think they’re indestructible, just very quick and efficient healers.
In extreme cases this could even lead to the body not breaking down over long periods of time (in other words, aging) because it is constantly being healed at the cellular level.
On the fictitious “Air Oceanic” website there is a section that lists the number of travellers according to their age:
Adult (18-64): 4
Senior (65 ): 8
Youth (12-17): 15
Child (2-11): 16
Infant in lap (under 2 yrs): 23
Infant in seat (under 2 yrs): 42
Can anyone shed some light on this? Is this connected to this theory?
Is this supposed to be for flight 815 or some later flight (perhaps the one Kate and Jack come home on)? Obviously, I don’t think it could be the one going there, since the numbers would be all wrong.
These numbers actually seem way off for any flight, in terms of the ratio of kids to adults, especially infants.
Thanks for your response.
I’m sure this is the flight- leaving from SYD 14:55 on 22nd Sept destination LAX. Your point re the # of infants is valid- which is why I’m curious.
You could be correct re the flight home.
Do you have a link for that?
