Main Article Theories about
Compass bearings 		Main Discussion
 Theories may be removed if ... 
  1. Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc).
  2. More appropriate for another article.
  3. Illogical or previously disproven.
  4. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article.
  5. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments.
  6. Responding to another theory (use discussion page instead).
  • This does not include responses that can stand alone as its own theory.
  • Usage of an indented bullet does not imply the statement is a response.

See the Lostpedia theory policy for more details.

  • There are 12 headings that will allow someone to leave the Island, one for each of the 12 Vile Vortices. Michael's raft and Desmond's sailboat couldn't get away from the Island because they weren't following any of the proper headings. You can enter and leave the Island normally by following the bearing that corresponds to whichever Votex the Island is currently in. Following any other bearing will take you to another Vortex. The bearing that Ben gave Michael (325) probably sent him to the Bermuda Triangle. He would have been back in the USA within a day.
    • Or Ben and the other do not know the actual bearing, but use it and it does not effect the time enough for them to notice.
  • The bearings to the island changes after every purple sky event.
  • Michael followed a 325 bearing after the Swan discharge. The sky turned purple, then Ben gave him the bearing and he left. Maybe 325 leads straight to Ben's people, but the freighter crew never knew about that one, just the other safe bearing, 305.
