Extras from “The Constant,” Pop Up Video Edition
Look at that. Actual confirmation that Desmond is time traveling, due to the lack of “swoosh” sound. Desmond is at Camp Millar.
And there’s my confirmation that, and I quote, “time works differently on the island,” per Daniel’s rocket. The time was indeed synchronized when it started out. Anyone who had offered up the suggestion that the people on the freighter were messing with Daniel by changing the clock can happily say that they were wrong.
Interesting - Desmond’s Royal Scottish Army scenes were filmed at Hawaii National Guard’s Diamond Head Garrison.
Oh, and to respond to other fan comments, the army guy from the phone booth did indeed knock the coins out of Desmond’s hand on purpose. But it wasn’t to make him aware of the passage of time; I don’t think he was “in” on it. It was because he was angry about having to do calisthenics double time and do extra running that morning. I do agree that some sort of conspiracy is involved in Desmond’s story, but not in this instance.
The Kerr metric equation is on Daniel’s Oxford chalkboard, and apparently implies the possibility of time travel.
