WOW okay um.... so how do we tell if a video is in-game or not? Because that's impressive..

EDIT: I'm convinced it's not in-game now. Still impressive.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I am new though. There seems to be too much there for it to be fake, but if it is I give props to whomever did it.

It's pretty interesting, but I highly doubt it is real.

If that's fake, it's a really good fake. Can you guys verify if this is "In Game"?

This is my first post, but I've reading this site now for a few days now. Checking out this video I'm noticing possible clues if it turns out there is anything to this. Hopefully nothing I'm about to say requires the "spoiler" tag, but if anyone thinks it should let me know so I'll use it in the future for speculation like this.

I noticed the equation written on the blackboard looks like simply calculus. It's been years since I aced calculus in college so I don't remember it anymore, but the formula starts out as "7(D 4 -2D 3 +D 2 )y = G" and is then broken down into simpler formulas. I'm posting this just in case someone recognizes the equation as something else. I recall reading somewhere where Hugh McIntyre said something about an equation being on the web.

The next blackboard image appears to start out with a 4x7 matrix of dots with lines encompassing some of the dots, and dashed lines outside of those lines encommassing a greater periphery of dots. Next to the matrix you'll see the equation "L>1" where the "L" is lower-case and cursive. Next to that you'll see a "u" surrounded by squiggly m figures on either side. Below that is another squiggly m followed by the word that appears to read "Liddy." Then under the matrix you'll see a note that appears to read "acronyms." Might these be clues? For instance, maybe Liddy Wales has something to do with the Mathematical Forcasting Initiative. Or, maybe that formula has something to do with "Matrix Mechanic Theory." Or, perhaps "H.A.N.S.O." is an acronym for something like "Human Advancement..." something.

The video goes on to discuss the first satellite put up into space by "Hanso Industries" from their Jet Propulsion Lab and Tracking Site in Northern New Mexico. The satellite is shown moving into a stationary orbit over a likely position for the LOST island, and it's meant to observe the geophysical properties of earth and its region of influence in space, to explore the "MAGNETOSPHERE," to discover magnetic anomalies, and to help with astroscience research.

The word "magnetosphere" looks like a clue. I thought it might be an anogram, but there are many possibities. I'll just mention a few possibilities...

Gene Metophores
Shop Agreement
Peg Others Name
Stoner Hempage
The Person Game
The Anger Poems
Stern Home Page
Enter Game Shop
Enter Heap Smog
Get Omen Phrase
Note Germ Shape
Math Gene Spore
Preheat Gnomes <---LOL

Although the phrase "Explore Magnetospere" yields several possibilities including the word "Persephone," such as...

Persephone Log Extrema

They discuss in the video how Hanso Industries has stopped working on weapons projects for the military, and is now devoting itself to discovering physical, intellectual, and psychological breakthroughs. They are branching into many sciences including biotechnology, nanotechnology, social engineering, and cryonics.

A year before the launch of the satellite, Hanso Industries established "The Hanso Foundation" to offer grants for graduate training, scientific research, and experimental lab facilities. It mentions how in one year, 1000 predoctorate students have received grants in all 50 states, and how 70 of them already have PHDs and are either teaching in universities or are doing research in government facilities. Now here's the tie-in...

They also mention how they built 8 institutions last year, that 4 are almost complete, and that 15 more are planned. Those of course are the first three LOST numbers. Finally, their goal is the evolution of the human race within 50 years.

Personally I'm weighing in at 'out of game', because I'm 99% positive that all of the footage in it is Stock from the fifties. And yes, its an amazing production. Don't film students have anything better to do? Wink
