A Way home

Not a bad idea, but generally suns screw with wormholes. I would think being in one probably wouldn't be good either.

Yep. Time travel. Destabilizing the cores of planets. Not a good thing.

[segaxgames]

this is brilliant.

[LorAsh]

They pull it off and they end up back on the Destiny before they actually get there, where Rush ascends and retakes human form on Earth while the rest of the survivors get on a ship and leave the Destiny explaining the ship we saw in Air 3.

Well maybe not, most of that, but it would explain how everything else was used up when they got there.

Gates wont dial when a wormhole would intersect a star. Sorry, this plan fails.

Reason? Watch "Red Sky", the SGC gate had to be hacked and have no DHD to dial a gate and have a wormhole thru a star.

EDIT: Just read a post above...

Stars don't have gravity wells... ARE YOU SERIOUS?

That's like first year high school science, ANYTHING with mass has gravity! Star's, second only to black holes have the HEAVIEST gravity wells in existance!

[eliteaceman]

Didn't rush say they replenished the "reserves" do we know if they replenished the "main power"

[pipi]

Yes, very interesting, then to all go splat on the iris because they don't have the code to open it. hahaha.

[thekillman]

i'm not certain, but the power of a star, the TOTAL POWER of a star (thus the energy per second) is nowhere near what Icarus can supply

[EternalAlteran]

I don't know but a sun would be able to supply the power Icarus does. It seems unlikely that Icarus can supply the amount the sun can. Alse Icarus would not be ably to give more power (energy per timeunit) than the sun. It seems unlikely that we could have made the Icarus base to draw all the planet's power at once.

I think it could work.
We would have to fly the destiny in. Wait for the ships to charge itself to a certain point(we wouldn't want the shield to collapse when we dialed), and then dial the gate. However we have to make sure there is no solarflare, cause otherwise we might end up somewhere in another time on earth.

[thekillman]

hello! if Icarus had a RAW NAQUAHDAH core the energy it possesses would be 10^40 give or take joules.

the sun outputs that per WEEK

[Count]

All kinda is pointless when the gate wont dial.

Unless they have an expert on ancient programming

[Heart of Light]

Oh, it'll probably work. They'll create a wormhole to earth and then step through it...

... And end up somewhere in the past of the future, seeing as they have to pass through a SUN.

[Otarush]

Probably: when things charge, usually the main battery charges first, then the aux batteries. Or all at the same time. Depends

[Ekras]

I thought of this as well - as stated above though there would be numerous problems with doing it - going through a solar flare can even send them back (or forward) in time! - That being said it is something that they should at least show the crew considering.

What they would need to do to make this work is find some way of siphoning energy from the ship instead of depleting it. This of course is the hard part. Once stored, the ship would recharge at the next sun, and they may be able to use the combined power that they stored along with the ships current reserves to make a jump back to a closer galaxy that the SGU may be able to dial with a ZPM or a chain of gates.

Unfortunately as they do not have a way to store energy (something tells me the batteries in their flashlights wont be enough lol) this currently is outside their reach. It is more information that they will need to "work the problem" as Col. Young so elegantly describes problem solving.

[Mr chuckles]

Dialling the gate to Earth won't work. These are prototype gates, older than the Milkyway and Pegasus gates, designed to work short range. Joseph Mallozzi said as much on his blog. Maybe the Ancients were planning to go back and forth when the Destiny was closer to Earth but never got round to it.

If you're going to quote, don't paraphrase. The poster didn't say stars don't have gravity wells. The exact quote is "Stars dont generate gravity wells that a normal stargate could use."

Big difference.
