I'm not sure whether this has been answered anywhere, but I'll go on:
It hadn't occurred to me until now, but they repeatedly state on SG-1 that gate travel is unidirectional, but if that is so, why do radio waves appear to be able to travel back and forth, allowing communication through the gate.
Depending on the answer, it seems clear that the gates are able to transmit data in both directions, at the same time. If that is so, wouldn't they be able to send people/objects through the gate at the same time too? Theoretically, anyway, I suppose they might have to make some changes to the gate network, but in either case, why would they then state consistently that gate travel in two directions at the same is impossible (since the radio waves appear to be able to do just that...).
In addition, if only waves are able to do this, then why does light not seem to go through, seeing as light behaves as both waves & particles.
//Sorry if I got anything wrong in there....
