It's basically a hypothetical substance that lies outside the boundaries of conventional scientific laws.
It is sometimes referred to as "Anti-matter" or "negative energy". I believe that such energies could also be the reason why (or how) dead people are 'reanimated' and brought back to life, either physically through healed wounds, or via manifestations. More likely, it probably has possibilities in the field of time-space.

I think the island moving could be linked vacuum fluctuations. By turning the wheel, Ben may have charged the island's electromagnetic properties, which in turn opened up a worm-hole and teleported the island through time and space. Just like how Ben got transported to a different time and space, The island itself also moved. I believe this would fall under the Casimir Effect..or Casimir Force.
I could be wrong however, but that's my intepretation.
If Smokie IS made from this exotic matter substance, then it could mean that Smokie is able to zip through time..and perhaps time and space. I would think that Smokie's one weakness (other than a stare down vs Mr. Eko) would be electromagnetism (hence the sonic fence?)..it's strength and weakness. Perhaps.
I believe that Faraday understands how the island (and perhaps smokie) can travel through time-space, as in his journal he had the words "imaginery Space" (4.05). I think this could possibly what is known as "empty space" in physics. Empty Space having links with faster than light travel.
