This theory is coupled with my 3 Minute Loop theory that MIB has managed to buy time... approx. 3.118 minutes ... or... if as Locke tells Widmore , its been about 4 let's say 5 Days ... since he saw 1954... and this is in late 2007 (since the Losties have been back 3 years). In 50 Earth years... Island years pass at a rate of about 10 times slower.
So 3.118 minutes on the Island would equal about 31.18 minutes off... Daniel comes up with 31.18 minutes ... as the difference. Brilliant.
In 1977, Charlotte is about 6 years old. She spent 6 years on the Island... Earth years = aprox 18. Born in 1979, according to Ben, but that's false. She's in her 40s.
Juliet comments on the sonagram/x-ray Richard shows her...hence the pregnancy problem.. women look about 1/3 younger than they are. Amelia should be about 324 years old. Richard about 120. Kate... in her 70s.
If the Losties left the Island for three years, almost 1 year would have passed on the Island. 108 Island days = 336 Earth days.
If the BR landed in 1881, in 1977, Richard would be 343 years old. In 2004, he'd be 420ish...

On day 108, the remaining six survivors, including Ms. Austen's baby which she gave birth to on the island of Membata, used this raft to journey here-- (click) an island called Sumba. They then came ashore near a village called Manukangga. This photo was taken by the local fisherman who found them. Once it was discovered who they were, they were transported to Honolulu by the U.S. Coast Guard. As you can imagine, this has been an extraordinarily trying experience. They have, however, agreed to answer a few questions. So, ladies and gentlemen, the survivors of Oceanic 8-1-5.
