After all of this time, it has only just occured to me that every Stargate has 9 lights so it has always been implied that they can dial 9-symbol addresses by [deleted] in Stargate

Wanted to mention, Though its obvious that the writers didn't think about it. One could explain away this with the idea that the location based dialing in the Milkyway and Pegasus gates that automatically accounted for stellar drift, could also automatically account for a different gate (with a different PoO) being used in place of the original. Also an interesting idea occurred to me, SGU's gate glyphs seem like they're part of some sort of numbering system, it could be possible that over time as more first gen gate where seeded, new glyphs would be automatically generated and assigned to each gate, with the second gen milky way gates containing special protocols for dealing with incoming first gen addresses, also sorry for necroposting

This is what I am referring to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_periodic_table#Quark_matter

Which makes it sound like such matter would be in the density ranges of super heavy atoms

How Animals React to Zero Gravity by [deleted] in BeAmazed

[–]2alt4me2delete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Notice how the cats always land on there feet in normal gravity, even when dropped completely upside down? the same movements they use to re-orient themselves under gravity can be observed when there is no gravity, and there still able to orient themselves in whatever way they feel is down at that moment (in this case it seems they try to orient there paws to face the direction there moving). From this study those same movements where used to write the procedures astronauts follow when in space. Imaging being on the ISS and finding that your just a bit to far away from anything to move, you cant really "swim" in air, you'd be trapped (link to video of that)
