Proof that you can only have 1 gate per solar system.
Ive known this for years, as its pretty well established canon, but someone was posting on the SGU forum, that the gates limited distance in sgu meant you were just dialing within a solar system that Destiny was in, and in general that having more then 1 gate per solar system and dialing between them is perfectly viable, then I thought about it and came up with nothing, then I thought about it somemore, and once again came up with nothing, then one last time I really really thought about it and again came up with nothing, then BAM wake up in the middle of the night with this realization.
Okay so we know that a gates PoO specifies a point in space, and that when a gate is moved from the location that its calibrated to then it needs to be recalibrated, what we didn't know though is how big of an area the PoO specifies, the size of a planet, or a star system, or a light year (well thats too much but you get the idea). So I thought, well lets put it in terms of our solar system,
The Earth PoO needs to specify a 3 dimensional area that is large enough to encompass the entire orbit around the sun (Other wise the gate would need to be recalibrated very very reguarly, as would every other gate in every other solar system), which is a big area, which puts a minimum size on how big of an area the gates PoO specifies (Im too lazy to check it up, if someone could post that'd be great) and that a gate would have to be outside earths orbit of the sun to be dialled, this however would mean that if you were to place a gate on another planet, say mars for example, then that gates PoO would also have to cover its entire orbit of the sun, an area bigger then that of Earths orbit posing the problem we saw in SG1 Season 1 when Jack and Sam were sent to the south pole, and again in EATG when the wraith gate of a newer design took precident over the Earth gate.
This is proof, absolute proof that you can only 1 functioning gate per solar system, and certainly rules out all possibilities of dialing to another gate within the same solar system. (This isn't taking into account binary and trinary systems but we've never seen these in stargate so its a moot point)
Feel free to poke any holes... I think its solid but I was wrong once before... just once
