don't know the significance

Alphabetically its d h o p w, and then I don't know what to use for 42... what do you get when you multiply 6 by 9. that may be what it is, F and I?

From the periodic table its
Be berylium
O Oxygen
P Phosphorus
S Sulphur
V Vanadium
Mo Mollebdenum (sp?)

The answer is out there!

if you translate those numbers into ASCII it reads "get two"

People have been working on this sequence for six months with no luck so far.

Could it be a date and time?

4 8 15 16 23 42

4/8/15 at 16:23:42 ?

April 8th 1915 at 4:23 pm ?

or if you were using a military notation it would be:

Hi guys and gals, I am Marco, a LOST lover from Italy, glad to be on these exciting LOST groups, as I am a LOST junkie, and I think I cracked the LOST numbers. (I repeated the L-word 4 times, by the way. And NOT on purpose!)

[speculation does not need spoiler space]

4 - In Chinese (or Japanese, I don't know), 4 is the number of death

8
    > the flight all main characters were on was Flight 815.
15

23    the passengers got on the plane at gate 23

42    the passengers would have left the plane from gate 42

So, basically, it would mean "Flight 815, which takes off from gate 23 and arrives at gate 42, is deadly/doomed."

Marco

Not forgetting that flight 815 is always said as eight fifteen instead of eight, one, five. by saying the flight number as eight fifteen you can add 8+ 15 = 23 which is THAT number again! it's just been nagging at me ^_^

42 was JJ A's number in Alias and anyone who watched or read hitchhikers guide knows it's supposed to be the answer to everything and meaning of life and all that, not sure what it means in this though.

according to Oceanic airlines flight 8.15 was due to leave at 14.0(4 )but it was slightly delayed until  14.0(8 ).  it was originally due to arrive at LA at (15.16) but because of the slight delay it's arrival changed to 15.(23) and due to arrive at gate 42.
