While lying in bed last night, I nerdily began thinking about the sensory experience of the wormhole -- i.e. the fact that you can see the wormhole and parts of space, and have some sensation of movement, while you are going through a wormhole.
In '48 Hours' and other episodes, Sam explains how the wormhole works to transport objects/people. A person's matter is turned into energy by the event horizon, then transmitted as energy through the wormhole, then reintegrated into matter at the other stargate event horizon.
So if this is true, a person is merely energy while actually IN the wormhole, and does not have any sensory faculties -- no eyes, ears, etc. How then can a person consciously experience wormhole travel?
My husband and I came up with two explanations:
1. People don't *actually* experience the wormhole, and it's simply a special effect for the benefit of viewers. However, this seems suspicious as I could swear that the sensory experience of the wormhole has at least been mentioned, if not described.
2. *metaphysical alert* A person's body does not experience the wormhole, but his soul does. This assumes that a soul's natural state is as energy, and that the soul is capable of sensory experience (think out of body experiences, etc). This could be linked to ascended Ancients, who also exist as energy, but appear to have sensory experiences in their energetic forms.
Thoughts?
