Desmond has Penny, will time travel.
Heavy doses of radiation or electromagnetism? Well, Des got a nice dose of electromagnetism when the Swan hatch imploded. I liked this episode because it explains a lot about Daniel. I think he’s an interesting character. His odd behavior, it’s clear that he’s experiencing some sort of “confusion” - added that he’s been exposed to that purple ray he invented. Here’s a theory, Daniel dies on the island - but he experiences that while watching the footage of the 815 wreckage from the “Confirmed Dead” episode. That’s why he’s crying then.

The Purple Ray
Kinda like the purple sky that Desmond caused when he blew the Swan hatch. If the rat died before Daniel teaches it the maze, wouldn’t that change the future? The rat experienced a future that didn’t happen.

The Black Rock Log
This was something that Daddy Widmore seemed really interested in. This ties him in to my other theory - that he’s behind the freighter “rescue”. Widmore used Des to find the island. I’ve said this before.

Altering Reality
The thing that got me was the ending - Daniel looked through his journal and saw “Desmond will be my constant”. This is interesting in another aspect. I’m sure that writing wasn’t there before and appeared right there after Desmond did his trips. Reality was altered. Here’s my proof - a screen cap from “Confirmed Dead”:

Miles visits a woman whose grandson had died. This is, presumably, a nicely framed picture of the grandson when Miles walks into the house.

When Miles comes down, something happened - a slight shift in reality. He looks over to the same picture - something is different…

When I first saw this - I was trying to figure what was different about the picture - not the frame. Something happened when Miles talked to the “ghost”. Reality got altered. Maybe psychic abilities portrayed on show stem from the type of temporal powers the island possesses.

Here’s another theory:
Maybe Ben has been leaving the island in order to moonlight as the ultimate psychic. He’s imprisoned Jacob with the ash ring in order to make millions telling rich people their fortunes. Hmmm…
