My name is Daniel Faraday and I'm what you'd call a physicist. I love doing experiments, especially with time and the future.
About eight years ago I worked as the Physics professor at Queens College, Oxford. I like to think I inspired my students to push past the mundane limits of the three dimensions that encapsulates our species(mainly their minds), but few if any of them ever impressed me with their...Mediocre? Efforts. But then, I suppose the same could be said of myself and my oh-so-brilliant colleagues who didn't appreciate my theories on time travel or my many- shall we say- unauthorized? experiments. That is, my experiments with Eloise which I did, oh...twenty odd times a day...whenever I wasn't obliged to listen to students ramble on about their discoveries which, if not for my own brilliant mind having thought of it first, they might just have impressed me. A little.
I guess some people might think I'm a little eccentric, but that's okay. I used to get very defensive about my work and my passion for physics and time, but after being exposed to so much radiation from my own experiments, you might say it all eventually got to my head. That is, I went too...far...? Don't ask me, because I don't really remember what happened. I guess whatever it was, it made me appreciate what I have more and made me care more about other people than I used to. I don't like violence, and sometimes tragic things I see on the news really get to me. I can't explain it...it's just so heart breaking to me. I don't even know why.
I was asked to join a Science team by a company that had heard about my successful experiments involving consciousness and time. They needed me to help find an Island somewhere in the South Pacific that has all kinds of interesting properties to explore. That was right up my avenue, so I accepted. I think I'm here to rescue some people who were in a plane crash too, but Miles and Charlotte don't seem to trust the people I found after they threw me out of the Helicopter(That was really scary). I have a lot of memory issues and it sometimes frustrates me when I can't remember anything. I mostly manage because of Charlotte. She helps me a lot when I'm going through my worst. I have a lot of work to do before I can go home...I just hope I can do everything right and save lives, because hurting people would probably kill me.
