Also, here are some links on the 'Omega Point' that 'Sticks' provided on the Lost.com forum:

Anyways, I am really excited about this 'Omega Point' theory/idea...
I was searching a bit and i found some interesting research done on The Omega Point Theory which just, IMO, further justifies the correlation and the possibility that TPTB are using this theory as one of the many sources feeding the story line. Just wanted to share some links and excerpts:

http://www.aleph.se/Trans/Global/Omega/tipler_page.html

'The Omega Point is a future state of the universe where "life" (in any form) exists and develops forever, without getting locked into an loop.'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_point

Five Attributes of the Omega Point

Teilhard de Chardin's The Phenomenon of Man states that the Omega Point must possess the following five attributes. It is:

Already existing.
Only thus can the rise of the universe towards higher stages of consciousness be explained.

Personal – an intellectual being and not an abstract idea.

The complexification of matter has not only led to higher forms of consciousness, but accordingly to more personalization, of which human beings are the highest attained form in the universe. They are completely individualized, free centers of operation. It is in this way that man is said to be made in the image of God, who is the highest form of personality. Teilhard expressly stated that in the Omega Point, when the universe becomes One, human persons will not be suppressed, but super-personalized. Personality will be infinitely enriched. This is because the Omega Point unites creation, and the more it unites, the more the universe complexifies and rises in consciousness. Thus, as God creates the universe evolves towards higher forms of complexity, consciousness, and finally with humans, personality, because God, who is drawing the universe towards Him, is a person.

Transcendent.

The Omega Point cannot be the result of the universe's final complexification of itself on consciousness. Instead, the Omega Point must exist even before the universe's evolution, because the Omega Point is responsible for the rise of the universe towards more complexity, consciousness and personality. Which essentially means that the Omega Point is outside the framework in which the universe rises, because it is by the attraction of the Omega Point that the universe evolves towards Him.

Autonomous – that is, free from the limitations of space (nonlocality) and time (atemporality).

Irreversible, that is, attainable.


Maybe Jacob IS the Omega Point ????
