Archer: Lieutenant Mayweather tells me we'll be arriving at Kronos in about eighty hours. Any chance he'll be conscious by then?
Phlox: There's a chance he'll be conscious within the next ten minutes... just not a very good one.

If i mind right dont the DHD's have a whole rainbow of different coloured crystals under the main panel (i.e: each button had a different colour)....
Also the goa'uld also use clear crystals (similar to the ancient ones) in the episode where they get Thors mind from the crashed goa'uld mothership theres a bit where Jonas is altering the configuration of a rack of crystals, and they were the clear type.... I know that was on one of Anubis'es altered ones, but Jonas did mention that he had read over the specs for the goa'uld motherships a few times and at that point in time the SGC never knew much about the ancient modifications anubis made, so the clear crystals must be a standard part of goa'uld technology.
There probably is no colour = type of crystal, The TPTB probably stick whatever colours of crystal makes the tech look pretty and advanced !
As for how the crystals are made, in real life they are probably just plastic or coloured glass, in the show the goa'uld probably make them syntheticly in manufacturing plants !Last edited by thefunkyone; 06 October 2006, 07:16 AM.

Or perhaps they are organic in nature, or to be more precise, a live. I remember a VERY early SG1 episode where colonel o'neill was replaced by a sentient crystalline entity that were massacred by the Jaffa.
Perhaps the Goauld realised when they killed these entities that their form could be used to store and process data. After all isn't that was sentient beings do? And how good a processor is a living crystal that is based off of an intelligent living crystal.
Surely thats worth persuing assuming no sentient beings are hurt in the process.

P.S.
Consider that Thors conciousness was running actively within Goauld data/process crystals means that these crystals in theory AT least could host their OWN conciousness. Perhaps the crystalline entities were by products of Ancient AI and crystal processor technology.

Do you think that the size of the crystal depends on amount of memory it has? Or that size and color mean absolutely nothing and they are just used to make things look pretty?
When it comes to the Large Red Control Crystal in the DHD, which I believe is blue in Atlantis, it is only that big because of the large red button on the DHD.

Kind of wierd I know, but it could work.
