    I'm sure there would be much more to it, not just that single aspect.

      it's obvious the gate address with 9 symbols is LOCALHOST aka 127.0.0.1

      so, you guys think the ship that plants stargates is still around somewhere in the universe?

      perhaps the furlings have it stashed somewhere

        i would love the concept. and a nice asgard CC like thing onboard. so they can create all sorta stuff. some functional x-699's and yea, itll be my favortite sow

          This is a possible, however unlikely purpose for the 9th chevron.

          Correct me if I'm wrong, as I don't watch Stargate Atlantis on a regular basis (hate that show...), but as far as I know from SG-1 Earth was the only known planet to have two stargates. It seems unlikely the Ancients would have designed a feature they had no intention of using. Also the stargate appears to have been designed solely for long-range travel, using a stargate to travel such a short distance would've seemed impractical to the Ancients in my opinion.
          Who's the black private Jaffa that's a sex machine to all the Tau'ri women? Teal'c!
          Who is the man that would risk his neck for his fellow Jaffa? Teal'c!
          Indeed.

            9 = "International" (completely different galactic cluster)
            Hey, did anyone ever think that the ninth chevron might designate another planet inside a system with a primary gate? Say, Mars instead of Earth?

            Comment


              Yea, some ever said it could be another gate on the same planet.

              People already said that is not useful. Why waste a chevron on something you could achieve with starships?

                Or even puddlejumpers if you have a few hours.

                  What about for commercial transit? I'm not talking for the same planet. Something that would take several hours in a small ship w/o hyperdrive. It would be like traveling by car from Jersey to LA instead of taking a plane. Or, instead of walking through the gate. It's just a theory.

                    i think the 8is the area code for what galexy but i don't think there is a ninth. I mean the only time SG1 went back in time was in 1969 when they passed througha sunspot but it would be very unlikly for that to happen casue sunspots are unprodictabal until there over...

                      I dislike the idea of time travel, the ancients were researching tt while they were in the pg, if they already had the tech why put it into a jumper.

                        Because it was underground research.

                          My point was, why research something that already exists, it's like us researching television, we know how to make them and how they work, it would be ludicrous.

                            because the ancients developed time travel machines. controllable timetravel. no "predict the solar flare and dial at the right spot"

                            better comparison would be to research lighting. we already have electricity. but lightning is uncontrollable, and you want it controllable. gate time travel is like natural lightining. time machines are like artificial lightning

                              But... If the 9th chevron was made to go to a specific spot in time then they would have already mastered time travel ad it wouldn't be natural because of that control. You don't need to dial 9 chevrons to go back in time when theres a solar flare.

                                why would they have spent years trying to perfect the "time loop machine" to doing that function if the 9th chevron already did it?
