I'm afraid the workings of J.J. Abrams' mind falls outside the predictive capacity of any coherent theory.

I always found it satisfying that gravity was described by Einstein's geometric theory of general relativity.

Yeah, I am a guy working on physics outside of academia. But I'm nowhere near Einstein's caliber.

I think the universe is pure geometry - basically, a beautiful shape twisting around and dancing over space-time.

The mathematics of quantum mechanics very accurately describes how our universe works.

The only thing that makes sense is if the universe is beautiful and simple and elegant.
