Maybe the ninth chevron would allow a 2 way wormhole to be established.
Anything beyond about 10 million light years from Earth would be outside our local network, and should require that you use a 9 symbol address.Jarnin's Law of StarGate:

Anyway, I have no idea how big 10 mil LY is, but who's to say the Ancients created a gate network that far away ?? Let's say they did, then gating to over 10 mil LY away, by dailling a 9 chevron address, would probably use up an insane amount of energy. From 7 to 8 chevrons the power source goes from power we have on Earth to ZPM. That's quite big. Then it seem logical that the power source for a 9 chevron address would have to be a LOT more powerful than a ZPM, and from what we know the Ancients didn't have that and their attempt failed (Trinity).
I guess what I'm saying is adding another long distance chevron seems quite redundant and therefore unlikely.

That power source in Trinity was to replace the ZPMs. Who's to say they don't have something else that produces more power than a ZPM.Originally posted by Rainbow Sun FrancksLive within the moment. There is only now, ENJOY.

7 chev=local galaxies ~10's~(no it is not jus 1 galaxy a few local ones)
8=inter galactic probably ~100's~galaxies away
9=masive intergalactic as in ~1000's~ of galaxies away

Not as cool as another universe or instant ascension, but at least it follows continuity."There's not a little boy born who wouldn't tear the world apart to save his mummy... and this little boy can." --The Doctor.

For example, perhaps when the Milky Way gates were designed (50 MYA), the Alterans didn't have any power sources that could allow them to dial other galaxies. By the time the Lantians are around (5 MYA), they have Atlantis and ZPMs and are colonizing another galaxy.

Originally posted by RA the sun godok u see the peg galazy is relatively close so i think it goes like this
7 chev=local galaxies ~10's~(no it is not jus 1 galaxy a few local ones)
8=inter galactic probably ~100's~galaxies away
9=masive intergalactic as in ~1000's~ of galaxies away
There are only 3 galaxies, and ~40 dwarf galaxies in our local group. If you dial outside of the Milky Way network, you have to use an 8 symbol address.
While you're sort of correct about "local" including multiple galaxies, you're way off on how many. For example, the Canis Major Dwarf and the Sagittarius Dwarf galaxies are within the radius of our galaxy, so you might be able to use a 7 symbol address to travel to those galaxies. However, anything beyond our galactic radius should require an 8 symbol address.Jarnin's Law of StarGate:

Originally posted by IMForemanThey aren't in our galaxy, they are in orbit of our galaxy. I agree that they would almost certainly fall within the Milky Way Network of Stargates. The 8th Chevron would surely be for selecting the galaxy within a galactic group, and the Ninth for selecting other galactic groups. It's not as fanciful as other theories, it fits within the established dialing logic of the gate, and fits the number of useful galaxies in our group nicely.Originally posted by Rainbow Sun FrancksLive within the moment.

Well, I had a thought a while back. If the seventh chevron takes you between stars, and the eighth between galaxies, maybe the ninth takes you between universes. I wrote a fanfic series about that – link's in my sig, if you're interested. The series is called "Chevron Nine," and it's a spin-off from my other story "The Burning Horror."
