Hi all, im having trouble understand what space time 'Omac' from Enigma
(1:16) was talking about, (in red) here: ( http://www.gateworld.net/sg1/s1/transcripts/116.shtml )
-- Outside Mountain Complex --
The starry sky is shown. Omac, and Danny walk thru a clearing.
OMOC: The co-ordinates.
Danny hands him a notebook. He looks at it, and takes some device off of his arm, and puts it on the ground. He activates it, and it hums, and a light shines up. Danny watches as the light shoots up, and disappears into the starry sky.
JACKSON: Listen, I'm no astronomer, but won't that take thousands of years to reach the Nox world?
OMOC: Why would it?
JACKSON: Well, that's just a laser, right? I mean... light takes a long time to travel that far.
OMOC: (Takes a twig in his hands) The distance between these two points seems far. Until you do this. (He bends the twig to where the ends meet)
JACKSON: OK... OK, I remember this from college physics. One of our scientists, Einstein, explained this the same way. You are talking about actually folding space.
OMOC: No. You wouldn't understand.
JACKSON: No, I guess not. I just hope the Nox do.
The shot goes to over their heads, they are looking up. Shot then goes to the sky.
How could he send the message that fast if he is not bending space time???
I need help with this one big time....any speculations would be great!
Cheers
