Hokay, so, the ramp leading to the earth gate goes all the way through the gate, so is it just me or does it not have a thin line missing where the event horison materialises? surely it should but a thin slice through it.

Originally posted by MioWell, the gates were made by a race of people millions of years more advanced than us. So it isn't unreasonable to assume that the gate is capable of detecting a ramp or staircase leading up to it, and acting accordingly.Originally posted by Rainbow Sun FrancksLive within the moment.

I doubt it 'detects' anything. doesn't quite make sense. Maybe it dematerializes when the 'gate is active, then rematerializes when it deactivates because it was never sent anywhere, still being part of the whole ramp which wasn't fully enveloped, like _wormhole_physics_ said."Do you people practice being vague?"

The gate can however stop atmosphere from going through a wormhole, so why couldn't it detect a ramp or stairs?I'm a TrustNo1/Weir shipper Also TrustNo1/Carter shipper and TrustNo1/Teyla Shipper. In fact I'm a TrustNo1/Weir/Carter/Teyla shipper. Yes, that would be good Throw in some Vala in tight leather. Is this sig PG? Oh well
Thank you L-JADE for the sig, it ROCKS!!!

Originally posted by SGRanger06I think if you watch carefully, there is a split in the ramp where the event horizon forms. Also, the "vortex", "energy swoosh" or what have you is only a certain size and "swooshes" out at 180 degrees (or a straight line haha) so the ramp is unaffected.
i am looking at an image and from what i can see there is a slight gap about the same thickness as the gate in it.

Well if you notice, the Atlantis gate is wedged in the floor with no gap whatsoever:
and you'd think the kawoosh would eat it up in a second, but maybe the floor of the Atlantis gateroom is indestructable or something?

Originally posted by Three PhDsWhy would it need to be indestructible? Just durable enough to be unaffected by the kawoosh, which thus far we've only really seen affect relatively soft/organic materials.
Ice destroyed in 'Solitudes'?
The ground in Death Knell?
The Kawoosh can destroy ANYTHING. It just so happens that it leaves the floor alone.sigpic
