    Kawoosh

    Okay i really didnt use the search function... its late and im not in the mood, but the kaswoosh destroys all matter in its path, right? does that mean if i dial a planet enough i could completely deplete the planet of atmosphere? I know that if it was true it would be a plot hole because then like every planet would be uninhabitable.

    Well that is probably true BUT:

    I vaguely remember seeing that whenever a stargate activates there is a transient windy moment almost as if the kawoosh pushes air away (this doesnot apply to non-gaseous states as they are not moved away and actually destroyed)

    Secondly if we assume the kawoosh has a volume of 5x5x10m (estimating) then it has a total volume of 250m3. Now divide that by Earth's atmosphere and that suggests how many kawooshes/gate activations are needed to deplete a world of air. That and we are assuming the same amount of particles are destroyed each time (ie the air molecules sit right in front of the gate instead of dispersing evenly to areas around the planet.

      You would have to dial the planet billions upon billions of times to take away all the atmosphere.

        i agree, unless it was a planet the size of a bedroom dialing a planet wouldnt deplete the atmoshpere, unless you did it billions of times

          Go read a science textbook before you embaras yourself furhter.

                  Surely something must make/replenish the atmosphe (meaning all gasses involved), i assume the atmosphere of earth didnt just appear out of nowhere?


                  Covering up scandals and keeping secrets is almost a racial trait.

                  Isn't it funny how the word 'politics' is made up of the words 'poli' meaning 'many' in Latin, and 'tics' as in 'bloodsucking creatures’?

                    You cant. Most gates were customized by the Ancients so they don't teleport gas. And even if they did, nothing would happen (or maybe not?) Good question though.

                      No you're right it didn't. Much if not all of it came from volcanic outgassing during the formation of the planet.

                            You only annihilate the matter that is at the same space as the kawoosh, it is not like matter is suck towards it. Otherwise it would be a bad idea to stand in the gateroom.

                              just place a ori supergate on a planet it get the job done alot faster better yet stick a few sublight engines around it and use as a net collecting the atmosphere
