Chez Hacker weekend -- lost theme / dharma initiative
part of the dharma initiative was obsessed with solving the Valenzetti Equation - which captured the number of days and years until humanity would end.

drawing on the German Lebensreformen movements which advocated a return to nature, vegetarianism, a celebration of hiking and healthy living which was actually one of the true sources of the hippie movement in California (i will bring the book children of the sun / gordon kennedy)

- Will Jae appear? how will we prove ourselves worthy to receive his presence again?what has he discovered about additive manufacturing and job creation for oakland during his wanderings in the desert de las vegas ?????

Valenzetti Equation

Part of the equation seen on Valenzettiequation.com, though this may not necessarily be canon.

The Valenzetti Equation is the mathematical equation developed by the reclusive Princeton University mathematician Enzo Valenzetti. Its creation was the result of efforts made following the Cuban Missile Crisis by the United States and the Soviet Union to find a solution to the hostility and danger of imminent global disaster created by the Cold War. The equation was secretly commissioned through the UN Security Council and is used to predict the time of human extinction.

According to the 1975 orientation film in the Sri Lanka Video, the Valenzetti Equation "predicts the exact number of years and months until humanity extinguishes itself."

Unknown man writing the Valenzetti Equation on a chalkboard in the Sri Lanka Video.

During the video, Alvar Hanso also states that the radio transmitter on the Island, will "broadcast the core numerical values of the Valenzetti Equation." The numbers: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42 are explained in the Sri Lanka Video as the numerical values to the core environmental and human factors of the Valenzetti Equation. Alvar Hanso also states in the video that the purpose of the DHARMA Initiative is to change the numerical values of any one of the core factors in the equation in order to give humanity a chance to survive by, effectively, changing doomsday. However, Thomas Mittelwerk reveals that as of 2006, they have failed to change the values through manipulating the environment, as the equation continues to arrive at the same six numbers. It is unknown how or if the most recent calculation of the equation is automatically reflected in the radio transmissions.

Rachel Blake also learned that the Hanso Foundation was forcing savants at the Vik Institute in Iceland to run the equation over and over. Somehow, five hieroglyphic symbols were involved in the calculations (Armand Zander described them as "representative"), the same hieroglyphs seen on the countdown timer in the Swan station.

The Blast Door Map included a reference to the equation; a zone on the island is marked as being of "low relevance to Valenzetti-related research activity".
