I've been wondering something and I'd love for one or more of the best and my favorite geeky, scientificky brainiacs who frequent this section *cough*Owen*cough* to give me their best guesses on these. (I mean I'd ask Colonel Carter, but she's off doing her thing right now and hasn't been returning my calls... )
Okay I know what a stargate is and does. I also know that when activated, the HEADS side kawooshes and people run through the event horizon travel through subspace and emerge from another stargate far, far away.
But what about the TAILS side of the stargate? Can you run through the back of an outgoing wormhole (because the wormhole itself is outside our space/time dimension and therefore not visible to the naked eye) or would running through the TAILS side be tantamount to running into the KAWOOSH? Or would it be like a force field preventing you from going through from the back side? Or would it just be like running through it while deactivated?
Also, regarding the kawoosh, something else has been bugging me. How is it that a portion of the SGC platform cuts into where the event horizon is? Or for a better example, how is it that in certain worlds, the gate is embedded into the floor? Wouldn't the kawoosh create a divot in the surface?
Okay my friends. Geek away.
