Theories about The Maxwell Group

Main Discussion

Theories may be removed if ...

Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc). More appropriate for another article. Illogical or previously disproven. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments. 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.

The name "Maxwell Group" may be a reference to "Maxwell's Demon," a thought experiment meant to consider questions about possible violations of the second law of thermodynamics. It involves a "demon" who sits at the gateway between two isolated bodies, and allows certain molecules to go through but blocks others.

The compass rose logo supports the idea that the group is involved in some sort of navigation, it may be the key to finding the island by adjusting one's compass bearings per the deviation indicated possibly at the times indicated as well.

James Clerk Maxwell

“

James Clerk Maxwell (13 June 1831 – 5 November 1879) was a Scottish mathematician and theoretical physicist. His most significant achievement was aggregating a set of equations in electricity, magnetism and inductance — Maxwell's equations — including an important modification of Ampère's Circuital Law. It was the most unified model of electromagnetism yet. It is famous for introducing to the physics community a detailed model of light as an electromagnetic phenomenon, building upon the earlier hypothesis advanced by Faraday (Faraday Effect).
