My theory is that the chevron numbers are set by the gravitational alignment of the gate itself. Due to the method that most gates are held upwards by, two chevrons are hidden. The gate network was designed to be used with dial home devices, with manual dialing available as a backup, ring alignment would not be of much importance. The chevron number pattern is, from the botton, 8 3 2 1 7 4 5 6 9. An intergalactical dialing would not require the eigth chevron to be seen, as that would be just the point-of origin chevron. A stargate doesn't seem to have a "This end up sign" on it. Also, Nine chevrons look better than eight or seven.Warning: This post may not be meant to be taken seriously.

It sort of does... the top most Chevron is different from the other 8. It's unique on the device, in both it's shape and the fact that it goes "Ker-chunk" when the chevrons are being encoded. It probably wouldn't be that hard to figure out that that was supposed to be the top.Originally posted by Schrodinger's Cat

All chevrons are capable of doing that. According to my theory, any chevron at the top automaticly becomes the 7th chevron.Originally posted by IMForemanWarning: This post may not be meant to be taken seriously.

Nooooo... I don't think so... take a good look. To my eyes, the top Chevron is completely unique. It's shaped totally different from all the other ones, it's point is open faced and is the only one that Ker-Chunks. The others are inward pointing, and completely stationary.Originally posted by Schrodinger's Cat
It might actually be a good tactic to turn the Gate upside down and let Jaffa through, then shoot them as the fall from the sudden inversion.

What it might do is that it allows a wormhole to activate to a planet with no Stargate. The ancients might of used this to open a wormhole to a planet with no stargate and take the materials with them to build a Stargate.

But if there's no Stargate, where do you go when you come out of the wormhole? And where does the wormhole go??Originally posted by GatedialerComment

I haven't seen any top chevrons like that before, but what your seeing could be caused by an image being streched to fit a tv screen. I'll look into it. About the Jaffa, make sure that they fall for it. (All puns intented.)Originally posted by IMForemanNooooo... I don't think so... take a good look. To my eyes, the top Chevron is completely unique.

I'm sure the ancients knew how to determin where to put it. Maybe the wormhole ends up in orbit around the planet. Then you send a ship through.But if there's no Stargate, where do you go when you come out of the wormhole? And where does the wormhole go??Comment

In the opener for Rising pt.1, a gate ship is seen exiting hyperspace (or the giza stargate) in orbit around Earth. It makes sense, so long as the ancient's (or art department's) knowledge of physics is much greater than our's.Originally posted by GatedialerWarning: This post may not be meant to be taken seriously.

Sorry to keep being contrary... but I don't think it was doing either of those things. I beleive it was just passing through Atlantis's shield.Originally posted by Schrodinger's Cat

It's probably some form of Caller I.D., or maybe Speed Dial.

The lighting is different, but it could be just the way this shot is.
Edit:

It appears that the side horizontal lit up bars are different on the top Chevron.
It's definetly unique.
Of course, this is just a crappy scifi wallpaper, so unless we get a really good shot of the gate on tv....sigpicComment
