All you ever wanted to know about The Iris and the Wormhole

[NowIWillDestroyAbydos]

what happens is you explode when you go into the wrong way, just kidding.

[mazzmatazz]

There's already a thread on this.

Now I know there has been a topic like this before... Calling all n00bs , use the serch function, its not decoration you know!

I think you would disintergrate if you entered it fully,just as normal, but you matter would not go anywhere, effectivly killing you

EDIT: I have seen another one too, not the one mazz just posted but a much longer one, seriously, the search, there for a reason

Very simple, They Die!!!!!

Aparently this is an inconsistonce, it dosent make sense. I just started on this site the other day and i asked the same question, people on this site are getting board of answering that one apparently.

Yes, we're sorry if we seem a little short at times, its just some questions appear so often, there can be over 10 threads on the same subject - heck, this question has turned up twice in two days!

Oh and hello and welcome (both you and Deano), hope you enjoy it here.

The technical term for the kawoosh is energy vortex. I've said what happens on another thread saying the same thing so I'm just going to copy and paste what I said.

I think it's because the iris is so close to the event horizon that the energy vortex or whooooosh wouldn't be allowed to be created.

[Deano]

Wouldn't you just come out on the reverse side of the other gate.

[Hulabaloo]

My guess is die. Hmm that was easy.

[captain_kirk999]

Same thing that happens when you walk through an incoming wormhole?

[captain_kirk999]

mmmmm_wormhole_physics_tasty is correct, it's all explained in a very early season one episode by Carter

[Three PhDs]

I had a simple analogy, being that a jet of steam does nothing to steel, but melts butter. It needn't be an inconsistency at all.

I have a real thought about it, the event horizon has two sides, one which is the normal entrance way is a stable event horizon which gives you access to two different points in time space almost immediately and the back side. A wormhole is theoretically a Einstein-Rosen bridge, which is a mixture of two black holes (sort of..).The Ancients would have to compensate for the instability of a black hole on the normal event horizon side, so that when you go in or even turn it on, it doesn't run hell on your world, but this would require a great amount of energy, so in terms of efficiency, I think they would only fully stabilise the side of the wormhole where you enter the event horizon normally, and only make sure the reverse side does not suck everything in. From this argument that I have formed, (not a very good one but worth a try) entering the other side of the wormhole would probably kill you because it is not fully stable.

What we see isn't actually the event horizon of a wormhole. The puddle effect, or stargate event horizon is something artificially created to facilitate the transfer of matter into an energy pattern for temporary storage in the gate's memory. That energy pattern is then transmitted. But the point is that what we see isn't actually a wormhole.

Great episodes that tell us these things. Let's see..

Maybe a little in Prototype. I can't be sure without rewatching it.

Everyone knows that when you step through the other side of the stargate you turn into a furling or a donkey

So thats where furlings come from...............hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Gives you somthing to think about.
