enjoy


Thank you very much for posting the image they used to create the black solar cells... what would you like us to do with it? Should I Photoshop some UFO's or maybe bigfoot? Come on. If you're going to post that stuff, give a reason and how it helps further the game.

Now YOU enjoy.

If that's true, what happened to the Higgs and Brout towers? They went down, offline, or something while our mystery man was unconscious. Because of that, I doubt it caused the singularity. Also, our hero was headed towards the towers. Maybe he used the box to buy himself time to fix the problem.

 		The numbers highlighted in red in the original anti.jpg image are now found on the Babel page about the black black solar cells. There's no obvious significance, but perhaps there is more to the page than has been discerned already.

I don't think your logic is necessarily correct, here. Considering in the video the box was sitting in a tunneling microscope, that would suggest that perhaps whoever was examining it, wanted to find out for themselves "what is in the box."


1. it's an atomic force microscope, not a tunneling microscop IIRC

2. It might not be intended to be interpreted as a microscope; possibly it's just supposed to be a science fictiony storage thing for the box.

 		Now I know theres nothing known about this (as far as I know) but I think we can speculate a little.

Why was the protagonist unconscious to begin with?
Why is his hand bleeding?
Whats contained in that bottle that rolls away?
If its assumed that the protagonist was working in a laboratory, why would every other scientist leave him for dead?
If the other scientists were captured, why was he left for dead?
What is the display on the wall next to the radiation sign counting down to?
And why does it seem that the Protagonist isn't affected by the high pitch noise while the others are?

Just a few things to think about.

 		OK I think maybe saga is a clue from UE

 		ok that wasn't helpful i'll admit. more specifically we have not found anything regarding that other then the noevilsagaliveson code. perhaps the poster has something else we overlook.

 		I realized that in the original video, in some part it says something about interference, but in the new video that doesn't appear, along with some other things already posted here. Maybe we are missing something between the two videos. We know that in the bus the transmision of the news is displayed, but in the old one don't. Maybe a clue over there?

 		the display next to the radiation sign isn't counting down if you pay attention it goes from 146 to 147 back to 146 if anything its probably measuring the external radiation levels that's probably why he grabs the mask

 		Archduke, saga has appeared 4 times i believe. SAGA is important for some reason, and i think the palindrome of noevilsagasliveon in significant like wasitacatisaw. Also after rewatching the video, on the door he goes through there's a sign for laser beam deflection. not sure if it's just there to make the place look science-ish but might be a possible hint.

 		I'm probably way off, and this has probably been discussed, but at the Hanso Foundation website, rightclick the background and click Play in the Flash menu.

I don't know if it has any relevance but it's a shot.

Both points taken... however given the scope and accuracy shown throughout the rest of the film, I would HIGHLY doubt it's just there to "look cool."

Do you happen to know the difference between those two pieces of technology? I'm only familiar with a tunneling microscope...

I think we need to ignore the Hanso and any other Lost ARG related stuff for now... I made the mistake of dredging that site and going to the rachel drake stuff and so on and so on before I figured out that game was over and completely unrelated... I have a feeling all of that is out there just to let us all know what we've gotten into.

This is a very good angle, Lariat. I was just playing devil's advocate. I think your approach makes more sense. I didn't see the connection of the red lines through Higgs and Brout in the video... good call. So what is the significance of Englert's work then - why is his the only tower to survive? Higgs, Brout and Englert all collaborated on the Higgs boson work... but there were at least 3 other major physicists that also participated in the same research and don't seem to be mentioned as prominently in the arg material as H G and E...
