The wraith dart ( deut spoilers)

[immhotep]

what do you think of the new wraith dart, formidable new craft that will advance human kind with wraith technology or a plastic tree trunk with a seat?

IMO it look better in rising, this just look really crappy

I agree they look much better in action... this looks too shiney and plastic

The seat is pretty neat though... reminds me of the Aliens movies

This is early stage yet remember the pics for PJ in ‘Moebius’ it looked awful but turned out ok.

Where do the beamed up people go?

Where do the beamed up people go?

That is a very very good point... looks like there would be space to stick a couple lying down but that is gonna be uncomfortable (depending on whos sharing )

Spoiler:

The beamed up people are stored on a computer

very much like data is stored on hard drive.

isn't that like what they did with Transporters in Star Trek?
hhmm so in theory: if a person is stored as Data... they could be deleted... thus breaking the whole matter can't be created/destroyed... (that question always bugged me after A level Physics lol)

That wouldnt destroy the matter, its just destroying the data that tells the matter how to re-arrange itself.

The Wraith Darts store people like how the stargate stores energy patterns (not data) before sending someone (remember in "48 Hours" when the stargate stored Teal'c)

The law of conservation of matter (cannot be created/destroyed) is abit of a simplification, its almost always true except under really extreme circumstances (ie the heart of a sun or a nuclear explosion)

Matter and energy are actually interchangeable, you've probably heard of E=MC^2 which means:
Energy is equal to Mass of Matter multiplied by the speed of light (C) squared.
The Speed of light is so huge that a tiny amount of matter creates ALOT of energy, less than one kilogram of uranium was converted to energy when hiroshima was leveled

where did you see this?

I think its an educated guess composed of a generally accepted idea that the wraith store their victims as data,energy, whatever.

It was an answer from Martin Gero

The fact that the Wraith stores people as energy is essential to the plot of Duet

Spoiler:

both McKay and Cadman are beamed up and something goes wrong and thats how she ends up in his head
