Hey all,
First post on the forums here. I've looked around for any sort of information or even theory and I can't find anything. So let's start having some theoretical fun!
We know that a gate that's been "buried" cannot connect to any other gate - an incoming wormhole will simply not connect, and we assume it cannot dial out either.
But here's a question - what exactly constitutes a "buried" gate? For example, if a gate is buried in dirt or sand, there is technically a bit of air between each grain of sand all over the interior of the gate.
So... What if there's a small pocket of air in whatever material is filling the gate? Would the gate engage? If not, is there a percentage of the gate that has to be filled or buried so that it will not engage, and what is that percentage? Because if the point is that *anything* blocking the gate, at any percentage, stops it from accepting wormhole formation, then you could thread a single fishing line through the hole of the gate if you want all travel to stop, in or out.
And what if it's not the percentage of the area being filled but rather the fact that the stargate can't "cycle" (inside ring can't turn) that matters? That would mean you just put a lock on the gate to stop it and you're done.
What are your thoughts on the matter?
