    Black hole/Time dilation question?

    Something's been bugging me. In "A Matter of Time" Ep. 2x16, the SGC is dialed into a planet being sucked into a Black Hole. At one point in this episode, Carter's looking at a computer simulation of time dilation effects the Black Hole is causing in the Gateroom.

    Anyhow her simulation shows time dilation being projected out into the gateroom from the wormhole, but the effects apparently don't extend BEHIND the Stargate, only in advance of the wormhole. So suppose you were on a planet where this happened, would you be safe as long as you were physically behind the Stargate??? Theoretically could half of that planet (behind the event horizon) be uneffected while the other half is?

    Someone please explain this to me, it's hurting my brain. Also, any screencaps of the computer model would be most appreciated.

    You MIGHT at first be safe... but no. The entire planet would eventually get sucked into the wormhole, not just half of it. Eventually the gate would've been ripped off of its grip-holders, and then would've fallen flat onto the floor sucking up the entire planet as it went. The gravity field would've just increased in strength the longer the gate remained active. So... bye-bye to the planet...
    The success or failure of your deeds, does not add up to the sum of your life. Your spirit cannot be weighed! Judge yourself by the intentions of your actions, and by the strength with which you faced the challenges that have stood in your way. The Universe is so vast, and we are so small, there is only truly one thing we can control; whether we are good or evil... -Oma Desala
