I have an interesting question for you all:
If you could invent some sort of new technology for use in the Stargate Universe (both SG-1 and Atlantis), what would you create? Would it be a new weapon? A power source? A defensive mechanism of some sort? Or even a new technology for travel?
The technology can be whatever you want, for whatever race you want. Be a little descriptive and try to explain how your technology works. If your technology is implemented through a device of some sort, a brief description of the device is optional, but not required. I'm sure there are a lot of creative minds out here in GateWorld. Let's see what we can come up with.
I'll get the ball rolling.
HyperSpace Folding Drive: This technology is a method of interstellar space travel. The Hyperspace Folding Drive is a radical new Hyperspace Drive system that could make traversing the galaxies much quicker and faster. The basic theory beind the HyerSpace Folding Drive is pretty simple:
Take a sheet of paper and mark two dots on opposite ends of the paper. Imagine you are piloting a ship at one of the dots (say the dot on the left hand side of the paper). You want to pilot your ship to the dot on the right hand side of the paper. Traditional HyperSpace drives create a hyperspace window that allows the ship to travel much faster than the speed of light. (Imagine a hyperspace window by drawing a line between the two dots on the paper). The HyperSpace Folding Drive changes the very nature of hyperspace travel: Now fold the piece paper so that the left and right hand dots meet. "Move" your ship from the left hand dot to the right hand dot. Now unfold the paper. Your ship has traversed the entire sheet of paper! This type of Hyperspace drive requires an immense amount of energy, (Naquadria would be a good candidate for providing this power, but Zero-Point Modules could also be a good power source for the Hyperspace Folding Drive). This technology carries some inherent risk: manipulating the very fabric of hyperspace and the time-space itself to achieve the "folding" element could be disastrous if something went wrong. To traverse great distances, the drive would create multiple "fold-windows" (imagine folding and unfolding the sheet of paper repeatedly,"moving" your ship as described above). This would make travel safer, as over-extended "fold-windows" could become unstable. Any race could employ this technology, as long it was advanced enough to create a safe and effective Hyperspace Folding Drive.
