When the azgard were beaming technology out Jack told the the rest of of group he would be keeping the stargate open so they couldn't dial out. When we cut to SGC we see his arm was still in the worm hole. How is this possible?

Question
Can you put your hand through an incoming wormhole? I mean if you jumped into it then what would happen?
Just wonderingVote Anubis for President in 2012A Face you Can TrustsigpicSo whats the worst that could happen?Supporter of the "It's Asgard, NOT AsgUard !" campaignIt is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it.

Long answer: Your body gets stored in the buffer of the gate, but cannot be transmitted due to it being the incoming wormhole. You cannot move when in the buffer so you are deleted when the wormhole shuts down.
Presumably, you actually can survive this by being revived from the residue left in the buffer, ala Teal'c in "48 hours".
you can move your hand through an incoming wormhole because there is a physical link between the hand in the artificially created region of subspace (aka the buffer) and the outside world. the hand is not actually demolecularised until the entire object (body) has entered the artificial subspace.

I think it was in the movie where someone stood in "water" and he was slowly pulled into the wormhole.
I think putting your hand into the wormhole will tell it that there is something on its way through the wormhole, and it will not close till it is all the way through, hense why it closed when he brought his hand back through.

Its an error, and we'll live with it.
Technically speaking the hand does nothing, as the Outgoing DHD can cut power to the gate and dissolve O'Neill's hand, then dial elsewhere.
It is possible however that the SGC has learned to power wormholes from the destination end to preserve the wormhole. The possibilitiy of this has been alluded to many times.

The gate will stay open for a maximum of 38 minutes assuming there is an energy signature still stored in it's memory, unless power is prematurely cut and there is no DHD on the receiving end to compensate. As Jack's arm hadnt been remolecularised and power was still being fed to the gate, the wormhole would not shut down for 38 minutes or until all matter had been fully sent. Keeping his arm beyond the event horizon after he stepped through forced the wormhole to stay open until either he pulled it through, or the wormhole shut down after the 38minutes.

This would probably be explained as a safety measure, if someone was to fall back inside the stargate.
It was said in Hundred Days that Teal'c should avoid falling back into the stargate, like the MALP did, simply because once almost totally swallowed, there would be nothing to pull him back.
Fortunately, O'Neill just poked the pool with his arm, so like any human, he was still able to pull his arm off the event horizon.
That said, it's perfectly logical that it is strongly advised to be careful not stepping back past the point where nothing can bring you back out of the dematerialization curtain.
It also poses the problem of what happens if you stand in the way? If you put your arm in the event horizon, while somebody is reintegrated precisely where your arm is.
Obviously, msot fluids and small particles are filtered, but what happens for massive volumes?
Probably why in Atlantis they were asking people to move on.
