The island houses a magnetic anomaly which bends light and other energies, forming a nexus at the island's remote viewing station. This keeps the island hidden and allows those in control of the remote viewing station to witness events taking place far away. The most sensitive minds, usually children, can even use these energies to astrally project themselves to other locations. Many have profited from this, through the power which comes with relative omniscience, but a deadly virus on the island prevents those who monitor the station (the Others) from ever leaving the protective confines of the island's healing powers. Instead they relay what they know to their masters in the outside world, but grow increasingly defiant. Eventually a new group of individuals is manipulated aboard flight 815 as potential replacements for the Others, who are not pleased with this development. Years pass, and multiple factions converge on the island for the end-game. It is Hurley who finally alters the numbers of the Valenzetti equation, averting the crisis destined to befall mankind. Some leave, and those who have been affected by the virus stay behind, to watch over mankind.
