I put forth a theory in another thread a while back, and it could be just as wrong as anyone else's, but here it is:
If the sole purpose of the ninth is immediate transport to the destiny, regardless of whether it's ten light years away or millions of light years, then it would seem the ninth is not a co-ordinate or a distance calculation. Perhaps the ninth chevron IS the address to Destiny, all contained within that one chevron. To activate it however requires a specific combination of eight co-ordinates preceding it, involving all the chevrons. At some point during the dialing, the system recognizes that you're not dialing a gate address, but the combination sequence needed to activate the ninth and learning that sequence of symbols is the key. Perhaps that is what Dr. Rush is trying to determine.
If my theory is correct then you can pass out the cigars this October. If I'm wrong then I'll be leavin' town lickety-split, no return address. Bye.
Anyway that's the second time I've recycled that theory. Probably good for one more recycling in another thread before the series debut.
