Vincent’s barking alerts Bernard to a dead body washing up on the shore of the beach. The body is that of the Kahana doctor.
When Daniel gets the radio working enough to send Morse code to and from the ship, he tells them about the doctor’s body washing up on shore, and (to paraphrase) is told “WTF? He’s right here and he’s fine.”
So we have a doctor who is both alive and dead at the same time. Much like Schroedinger’s Cat in theoretical quantum physics. Except that, instead of the cat in the box being both alive and dead until someone can verify his state of being – different parties are both witness to the doc – dead and alive.
I’d like to take this as another sign that time flows differently, but now it’s more than that. If time “just” flows differently, that doesn’t account for how a body from the faster-moving time off-island arriving dead on the island while he’s still alive off-island.
So how do we account for dead/alive doctor? I can’t wait to find out.
