Incase you didn't know - quite a few of the character's names in the show have some sort of significance (I once thought this was ever so clever, back in season one that is, but I've long since realised that it's just another instance where the writers are trying to be too clever by half. Particularly when it's obvious that most of the time they can't decide if they're writing literature or soap opera.)
Anyway, Lost has been playing around with the notion of Time travel lately. They've got Desmond who traveled back in time through his own personal history and now he can see brief glimpses of the future... (nice trick.)
They've gone from having the show being about character's flashbacks to now where they're doing flash-forwards...
They've had a scene last episode where they've had a character called Faraday (yes another significant name - more blatant that one, since most of us vaguely know who Michael Faraday was) fiddling around with a tripod - scientific looking equipment - mini rockets and watches - making it clear to us there's a 31 minute difference between Island time and outside world time.
So when one of the new -and as yet unseen - characters is named Minkowski - you know it's got to mean something...
