MSHL, a great post and followed by some intriguing ideas by everyone. The picture & writing posts to explain things is most favourable too.

All the science books that I read & yet when that 'Island' disappeared, it never occurred to me to ask myself about the effect that would have on the surroundings. D'OH!

my favourite part was :

I can hear Daniel Faraday mumbling it now: “Well…um…ya see...well the island isn’t really…um…part of our…uh…world…if you know what I mean…”

I can totally see him saying that! and it's also good to know that the boar-farts would have been taken care of!

... what if we were talking not about a "displacement", but about an "interchange"? Take the Island out, replace with loads of Ocean water... (almost) no void, just a ripple... that's all.

That would make more sense Occam and I have wondered that myself. The ocean water that the island displaces in its new location perhaps.

Yes, that was my assumption. [Note to self: try to explain yourself better

THE ISLAND ISN’T REALLY THERE.
