(I tried to write this without spoilers. It does assume you've seen episodes that feature "the hatch". If you don't know what that is, stop reading now.)

I think the reason that a person has to "hit the button" in the TV show LOST, is that the "geomagnetic anomaly" can only be suppressed by a thinking being. It's a "psycho-geomagnetic anomaly". Yeah, I know there's no real science behind that, but for science fiction, this isn't unusual.
