    Death to the Ascended

    So, in a number of threads discussing the Ancients, Ori et al, people have stated that the Ascended can not be killed. Their argument is that Ascended beings are pure energy and energy can not be destroyed, but I was wondering: I don't recall it ever being stated - either as fact or as assumption - that the Ascended are indestructible.

    Can anybody point me towards such a reference?

    Well the Ancients couldn't destroy or "descend" Anubis. Looking at it from a pure physical point of vue, even if life could exist as pure energy, if that energy loses cohesion, then it would be nothing special anymore. Somehow the ascended beings avoid entropy all together, if that can be countered, then they'd just radiate off into space. Only TPTB can decide for certain.
    The truth is out there. Getting there, well thats a whole different can of worms.

      well nobody knows for certain unless you ascend because we all know

      knowledge is power and infinite knowledge is gained by ascension

      hallowed are the ancients for the ori know nothing

      and to qoute tealc
      indeed

          Apparently the worshipping masses make the Ori more powerful than the Ancients, so they may be a real danger to the Ancients. Time will tell.

              It doesn't really matter if the Ascended Ancients are all powerful, they don't do anything anyway. If they all get killed, Stargate will be exactly the same.

                Untrue, the Ancients are the only thing the Ori have to worry about. If they were to be destroyed, the Ori would have free reign, they could just destroy entire planets of people, if they didn't agree with their theology. The Ancients, ascended beings, others, are very necessary!

                    If we have an Ori gun that can kill the Ori, would that not also be a weapon capable of killing an Ancient?

                      While this is true, the Ori almost have free reign now. They can't work personally in destroying planets, but they can easily send a Prior over to take care of the situation. The Ancients won't stop the Priors because these events are all occurring on our plane of existence.

                        Yeah, its quite unfair. Due to their ascended knowledge, they can make make the priors as advanced as un-ascended tech. will allow. So even though they aren't doing anything per se, they are making the priors more powerful than anyone else.

                            I don't understand then, why they can't get rid of Anubis. Surely its worth doing him in. He's like the most evil entity ever. The Goauld were creeped out by him. I mean come on. Punishing Oma is one thing, thats ridiculous.

                              They probably could, but doesn't it take the collective might of the ancients - Oma can only keep Anubis busy if she's fighting him one and one, and he was still only being evil on our plane of existance, so it was none of the other ancients business (in their opinion anyway).

                              I could have missed something fundamental in this though.
