if its understood that the human mind cant store the" knowledge of the ancients" contained in the various encountered libraries,,,why dont they get one of the asgaardians to stick their heads into the machines??? after all they have the highly advanced storage capability??? sounds too easy to me ,,,and where are they lately during our battle against the ori????

The ATA Gene may be required to understand the info.sigpic"Most of our John Sheppard impressions sound more like a demented Jimmy Stewart than Joe Flanigan."

The Asgard had a copy of the database but not even they could figure it all out. And the reason they weren't around is because they were busy doing other things."At least my heroes exist. If this was a Trek convention, you’d be all dressed up like a Klingon."

I'd say it could require the ATA gene to activate though seeing as it was meant to be their legacy it would have to be accessable by people who weren't ancientsRobert Jastrow (self-proclaimed agnostic): "For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries."Comment

I think the Goa'uld part would stop that from happeningOriginally posted by deadman View PostVote 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.Comment

This has been driving me mad for ages and ages
We (tau'ri) can't take all of the knowledge but how about some say 1% (even 0.01%) given how much is there 1% (so would 0.01%) would be a huge amount so why can't the machine be altered to do that??I dunno what to put in here now..Comment

We would first off, have to know how to make it.. imo.Comment

Well...Spoiler:sigpicComment

Firstly, the Repositories of Knowledge are able to store the actual consciousnesses of people (Ancients) and each one most likely contains multiple consciousnesses with a large amount of knowledge and understanding.
Most likely, when Jack looked into it in Fifth Race/Lost City, he got EVERYTHING, and his mind couldn't handle the massive input of data.

The Asgard already do this anyway (stored minds) which is the basis of their longevity.

Perhaps that is what was doing in jack, the consiousnesses bombarding his mind, rather than just the information..Comment
