That is so true, then they don't have to think up what the 9th chevron does when they want to use it.

The thing that irks me about the inter-galactic travel in the SG universe is that despite being so close the Milky Way.... why have we not been to the Adromeda galaxy or the Pinwheel galaxy? Those are a part of our Local Group too.

Instead we go far off to Othalla, Pegasus, and the Ori galaxy.....

We haven't physically been to the Ori galaxy, and we have no idea where it is in relation to our galaxy. I'd like to assume that it's outside our local group, but that hasn't been established yet.

I think it's interesting that instead of heading straight to Andromeda, the ancients decided to stop by the dwarf, Pegasus, on the way. If they're populating all galaxies that they come across, it could very well mean that all the dwarfs orbiting the Milky Way may have already been seeded, and the Pegasus galaxy was the first one on their way to seed Andromeda.

If that is the case, then Andromeda and all the other galaxies in that region my still be devoid of sentient species, since Atlantis (or any other city-ships) never got to move on after Pegasus was populated (as far as we know).

This issue will probably end up being "a furling": The writers will keep us in the dark forever.

We don't know that the Ancients had other city-ships instead of Atlantis. If they did, they might have already seeded Andromeda. While Atlantis was seeding Pegasus.

Got to agree on that one, I dont think we'll ever find out because TPTB dont even know.

But if I had to think of what it does I'd go with either the travel between universes or the security feature. Maybe it takes you to highsecurity Ancient planets where there is loads of data and information.

Or it could take you to a planet where all of the Ancients "failed experiments" are

Good point.

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."

erm..... do not mean to be rude but......THAT IS THE MOST RIDICLUS THING I HAVE EVER HEARD! For another universe you will have to go to another alternate time line (quantum theory i think) the achients already made a mirror that does that, and apparently there is an infite number of them so i don't care how many combinations you can make with a stargate there is no way it is infinite. I think it is to go outside our galaxy cluster (or whatever it's called).

STOP MAKING THESE THREADS

Furling threads and Ninth chevron threads are the scourge of this forum. We dont know anything and its allmost certain that we wont see it used. Use the search option, and see if any come up before you just decide to make a thread!

As for the ninth chevron, it takes me to my happy place

We're here debating what the ninth chevron does, but take a minute to think about all those on less developed planets who are still in wonder about what the 8th chevron does. Consider ourselves lucky we know that much and put these threads to death. By Snoo Snoo.

Okay... my Theory is that the Pegasus galaxy is not that little dwarf galaxy near out local group. Why? Because we did not need that much power to gate to Othalla, when compared to gating to Pegasus. So my theory is that Pegasus is actually a large spiral galaxy, not as big as the Milky Way, but more in line to the Pinwheel's size. However, this Pegasus galaxy is from another cluster of galaxies, and the same applies to Othalla, as well as the Ori galaxy.

There's two Virgo Clusters, so why can't they rename M65 or whatever galaxy that is in another group as "Pegasus".

In Rising, Daniel said that Pegasus is the name of a dwarf galaxy in our local group.

And it's said to be about 3 million light years away, which puts it in our Local Group. This distance would also match the Pegasus Irregular Dwarf.

I don't know if this theory has every been suggested before, probably, given the number of 9th Chevron threads out there, but what if there is no 9th chevron. I'm not absolutly sure about this, because they rarely show the entire gate for the entire duratioin of the dialing sequence. Accually I don't think they've ever shown it uncut. But I always assumed that the chevron on the top, the one with no bottom, was the locking mechanism. Whenever the gate is dailing, the desired symbol comes into place under the top chevron, it locks, lights up and at the same time, the first chevron to the right lights up. Then the second comes into place under the top one, and the second to the right lights up. And so on. Now the part that is in question is when the seventh/eighth chevron comes into place. When it locks, does it lock the chevron to the left for the seventh/eighth or is it itself the seventh/eighth. I not sure. But if the chevron on the left is the seventh/eighth, then that means there are only eight chevron total used to determine a gates point in space. Again, I haven't checked all the episode to be sure, but I thought I might provide a new light, and possible a solution, for the arguement.

The extra chevrons are under the walkway, I'm pretty sure there's a good front shot of the gate in 'Momento'.

Are you getting existential on us? What if there are NO chevrons. What if we're all just living in one big chevron? What if we're chevrons on some giant's gate?

Is there a spoon?
