Best quotes ever:
O’NEILL: I hope you like Guinness, Sir. I find it a refreshing substitute for food.
Jack O'neill: I hope you diplomatically told him where to shove it.
Teal'c:If you once again try to harm me or one of my companions, my patience with you will expire.
Carter: You know, you blow up one sun and suddenly everyone expects you to walk on water.
Thor:I like the yellow ones
O´Neill:Hey, if you had been listening, you´d know that Nintendos pass through everything.

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.

7 = Local "call"
8 = Long distance (other galaxy, same galactic cluster)
9 = "International" (completely different galactic cluster)

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?Last edited by xSFx; 01 March 2008, 12:02 AM.sigpic

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.Best quotes ever:

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

You don't need to dial 9 chevrons to go back in time when theres a solar flare.Spoiler:Disclaimer:
