I remember a while back when an episode of SG1 aired, it was called "2010". It took place after the StarGate had been made public, and an alien species had been very kind to Earth.

The reason why I bring this up is because the StarGate was in an airport, or was an airport in itself. How do you see a StarGate being used on Earth? Where would it go? Would we be able to import and export stuff through it? Would it cost money to use it? Would it only be for special use? Would space travel still be nesscessary?

What should the gate really be used for? And do we need more then one?

Note: Two StarGates cannot be used at the same time. They cancel each other out.

Ignoring your final rule, I would put one Stargate in front of me and one behind me, and have [anal] sex with myself.

:eek:

ermmmmmmm

Stargates wouldnt really rule out space travel because you'd still have to build them on all the different new worlds.

I'd build one onto of another and drop something through it so that the object would be constanly falling, im sure you'd be able to harness power from it somehow

If you keep a vacume around it it will be constantly speeding up and due to Einstein's theory it would gain mass as it did so you would eventually get a BLACK HOLE.

And if I make a clone of you, destroy its Y chomasomes but double its X chomasomes you can go get yourself pregnant.

If there were to be a star gate terminal on Earth, it would be deep underground in the hands of the military. There is no way our psychotic race would have it freely available to normal people!

And the military aren't more psychotic than normal people because...

good answer..............

Seriously: With the way that science had progressed over the past hunder or so years, who is to say what technologies are awaiting discovery in the wings?

Lets face it, if you were to say to someone in the 60s that within 40 years we would have pc's in every home; rewrite CDs; the internet, hubble telescope, watch tv from the other side of the planet live at the touch of a satellite remote etc etc, what would they have thought of you? The answer would have been something along the lines of "Oh did some aliens come down then?".

The science fiction of today is science fact of tomorrow.

I aim to be on one of the first ships to go beyond the moon. How's that for a goal.

I would like my team to score more goals too ;)

True, but the difference between satellite tv and warp travel is that there is actually a proven scientific formula to say that the latter is impossible. There was never a specific proven scientific formula to say that we couldn't watch satellite tv, that we couldn't fly, or instantly talk to someone on the other side of the world (like I am doing now).

or go to the moon?

Hey, name the theory, and I'd be glad to look into it. It has to be better than the mere speculation of the unscientific rabble.

Science is funny, its laws always gets broken

They used to say going faster than 40 mph in a car would destroy it.

Whats the line from men in black

People think they're so damn smart. They think they know it all.

500 years ago, the world KNEW the world was flat, something something, and 5 minutes ago you KNEW that the human race was the only sentient race on the planet?

I swear science was invented just to make sure we could say that we know everything there is to know.

Faith The Thinker, this is not the Religion Forum. Please keep your ideas in the direction of science FICTION.

P.S. Have a very, very, moderated day.

A stargate for commercial travel would mean needing somewhere to go.

Well, I don't see any planets worth going to, let alone habitable for humans. We'd have to build colonies, terraform, and so on. And who would pay for that? You?

Yeah... I didn't think so.

Well ... IF you had a Stargate chances are that you would have some volunteers to determine where it takes you. Then and ONLY then can you decide if you are able to go. If the volunteers don't come back then they (A) got waxed in one way or another or (B) found paradise with a bunch of virgins.

Well, maybe you MAY want to take a chance after all ...

there are so many habitable planets in our galaxy alone that it would take you 10 life times just to count them.

so, if you were to use a stargate it would take you a minimum of a million life times just to visit only the habitable planets in our galaxy.

so, relax and enjoy this planet for awhile.

planets habitable for humans? or planets that might contain early forms of life?

Well any planet that is truely habitable to humans would need some form of life.

i know. i was just merely speculating that although there may be planets supporting life out there, not all could be habitable for humans.
