one thing i cant quite understand from the PP ep. was how was it possible at the end of the ep, when they fly around the blackhole then slingshot back out using its gravity? according to science and whatever physics we know about black holes, doing such a thing would also transport them forward or backwards through time. however this was not the case in the episode. did the writers just forget about that lil tidbit? or am i not seeing something?

I would say the real question is why did both ends (Odyssey and Teal'c) hear the other's voice come in slower? One should have heard the voice come in slowly, but the other should have heard the voice come in quickly (I'm thinking Teal'c should be heard talking fast, and he should hear Odyssey talking slowly)http://forum.gateworld.net/showpost....30&postcount=9

But eitherway, it's a TV show, not a NOVA documentary. So for all I care they could all sound like Darth Vader.

Actually you can see the time distortion in the episode, right? when they sling around everything gets all slow and distorted and then speeds back up.MASSIVE SPOIERS TO FOLLOW: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Spoiler:Snape kills DumbledoreSpoiler:Darth Vader is Luke's FatherSpoiler:Rosebud is a sledSpoiler:Bruce Willis' character was a ghostSpoiler:The planet of the apes is actually EarthSpoiler:The two guys in Fight Club are the same guySpoiler:Clark Kent is SupermanSpoiler:What? You were expecting Stargate Spoilers?
If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time for no good reason.

Originally posted by jebusWell, if a transmissiom travels from a position of low gravity (far from the black hole) to a position of high gravity (close to the black hole) it will redshift, but a transmission from a position of high gravity to a position of low gravity will blueshift. In fact this is the only problem I have with PP, and I fully admit that in terms of the story, it is a very minor problem, but seeing as this is the internet, its worth pointing out
Second, given that we know nothing how stargate operations, I simply assumed the scenario as if two ships on opposite sides of the blackhole talking to each other. Therefore red shift on both sides.
This is based on the premise that both ship are at equivalent minimum safe distances from the blackhole (or its effects). In order for Teal'C's transmission to blue shift, Oddyssy would have to be between the gate and the hole, which isn't the case. Conversely, transmission from Pegasus would red shift as it exits the gate due to the gravity pull (if we consider what happened last time they gated to a blackhole on SGC's end).

Originally posted by ZamboniFirst of all, shouldn't it be the other way around? Travelling away from the source of gravity causes red shift and travelling toward it causes blue shift.
