The main theme for all Stargate...ridiculous?

[Smo]

Maybe i missed some explination to this, if so please enlighten me.
Here it goes:
The main thought about the series is a network of gates.
Each gate has its own adress which depends on it's position is space.
Well...thinking on that one would thought that we live in univerese where everything keeps still...which we're not.
In our univerese EVERYTHING moves with insane speeds:
so any gate's movein:
A-with the planet
1 around its axis
2 around its sun
B- with its solar system
3 around the center of galaxy
4 around the galaxy axis
C- with the galaxy due to local group gravity relations
You could say that this all is periodical movement and can be predicted...aside of incredible compexity of cacules, if so gate adress NEVER could be so small as to 6 digits- which were explined as point on cube
But this explination would be fals also cause there is this thing...universal expantion, you know
D- everything moves in every dicertion with the speed of light
So, if SPACE its self keeps expanding makein everything moveing with it- theres NO point of constant reference to ANY object in the universe...
So please tell me how 6 digits can acuratly describe a point of space for milions of years?! If they cant do it for a second in fact...

Science fiction.

[mrX225]

yea its a show and a good one at that

[BlackBaron]

and if there were alot of digits the show could get boring.

1) NOT REAL - not made for strange people to nitpick to this extent.

2) The 6 dots dont single out one planet, but a region of space which the Stargate is in, you never get two gates in one system for that very reason. As for the moving, I think that mayt have something to do with the DHD's sending out updates every few years to each other. (See Avenger 2.0)

[Ascended Times.2]

The ancients figured out the exact edge of the universe, and then derived the speed it was expanding and created the gates,

As we know, the DHD system goes through cooreletive(Sp?) updates to adjust for stellar drift.
Of course, it IS science fiction

1. Velocity is relative and the seven symbol addresses in the stargate network is designed to be used in one galaxy therefore when dealing with seven symbol addresses which are most commanly used, the high velocity motion of this galaxy with respect to the rest of the universe is irrelevent.

2. The Systems and galactic arms take millions of years rotate about the axis giving more than enough time for DHD coreletive alignment updates or manual realignment to take place.

3. As Blitz intelligently pointed out the points define a region of space around a star so planetary motion is irrelevent.

[Hatcheter]

3. As Blitz intelligently pointed out the points define a region of space around a star so planetary motion is irrelevent.

Also, there are 200-400 billion stars in the galaxy, but only a small number of them are even likely to support earth-like planets. Each stargate is likely hundreds, maybe thousands of light years apart.

They explained this in the pilot episode (Children of The Gods) when they went to Aybidos and Daniel and Carter first meet. He shows her all of the gates addresses on the wall and she explains to Daniel that they’ve tried to dial a million addresses in order to dial other planets. Daniel then makes a comment on how the planets shift and Carter has an epiphany and comes up with a gate shifting calculation formula that allows them to dial the gate to other worlds. They also improve on the formula in the Fifth Race when Jack has the Ancient data put into his head and writes that big long equation on Daniels blackboard. At first Carter doesn't know what it means until he writes down that (?)=8. Carter then finishes the equation and goes on to tell General Hammond that she believes that the formula is a new more efficient way of calculating the distance between two shifting planetary bodies....are something to that affect. I hope this explanation clears up things for you

[Dutch_Razor]

The update function updates coördinates once in about 100 years to compensate for what you said, it's called doppler shift

[Peoples_General]

Carter figures out the "10 = 8" that Jack wrote on the blackboard, that it means that the Ancients used Base-8 math.

science fiction dudes and dudettes

If you want Science Fiction with tons of techno babble.... watch Star Trek.
