if you drop an activated stargate into an ocean....

[ManiacMike]

They kinda explained in the show itself why water and air doesn't gush through the gate from one planet to another you know....

[SoulAssassino]

if that doesn't deserve green i don't know what does
edit: sorry, i've spread to much in the past 24 hours...

thanks, just don't forget it in the next 24 hour period

Once it settle no water would get through. It was said in watergate that carter theorized that the gate can distinguish between something wanting to go through and something that flows. Watch watergate. They werent talking about the water lifeform but stuff in general.

[Col. Shadow Quinn]

I suggest you watch "Inferno" again, because that already answers this question. the gate fell into lava and they told Atlantis to turn on the gate shield because the lava was going through.

[thekillman]

so, like i said. the gate, EH up, on the bottom of a multi kilometre deep trench in the ocean, would CERTAINLY push the water through

Thats due to the movement of the lava, it was flowing towards the gate so the gate interpreted it as wanting to go through the gate.

Water would not as its a constant volume and pressure, would only start to flow if you actually started the flowing motion. And no gravity would do nothing due to a contant surface area....

[thekillman]

And no gravity would do nothing due to a contant surface area....

so it WOULD do something

[Einherjar]

so it WOULD do something

not sure what you mean?

[SoulAssassino]

not sure what you mean?

2 times no = yes
That's what he means

Well, i hope Because if not i'm just an idiot

[Einherjar]

ok lets illiterate. sorry. i ment NO(,) gravity would do nothing....... sorry for got the comma.

[thekillman]

if you go deep enough under the sea, the pressure is immense. toss the gate deep enough, like i said a million times, and water WOULD get through

[Einherjar]

It wouldn't, you need an external force to start the initial movement.

[thekillman]

what crap is that? you have MORE than enough pressure to get it through. and besides, water would "fall" to the earth via gravity. seeing as random moving water molecules could go through, there could be suction. and a gate going down would destroy water cause its at the back of the gate, and enters it due to the gate sinking. therefore creating downward suction, and the water would go through the EH

[supersoldier34]

its said somewhere that the gate can hold things back that are giving a even pressure at the event horizon

[thekillman]

evidence?

even then, the pressure wouldnt be even. due to suction, the gate travells down fast. thus rapid pressure change, thus no even pressure, thus water blasting through
