just a question regarding SG1 season 9 finale (in aprticular) - upon arrival of the SG1 team on the Odyssey the captain informs them that they'd attempted to destroy the gate with the combined firepower of the entire fleet but to no avail.
However never is an explanation offered as to why "brute" force cannot achieve this - I mean, it's just a gate right? Granted it's ancient tech but still, it's a 400m wide material construction made up of several modules connected to form a gate that isn't even shielded, at least not against slow moving objects since Sam could land on it and take out the control panels. What if they simply lodged a nuke in between 2 of the wedges? Ancient tech or not, it can't ignore the laws of physics...
