7th Chevron

Only '1 order of magnitude greater' if they could reuse chevrons within the dialing sequence? Infinite, wouldn't it, if they could go around the ring an infinite number of times? But that's neither here, nor there.

when you say resue to you mean something like
ABABABAB as a code? IF there is a fixed number of chevrons being used, ie 8 and a fixed number of chevrons that this can be choosen from then the numbe of combinations is finite.

Nope. I mean 'Here we go round the mulberry bush'. Each chevron, as it stands now, can only be used once in a sequence. What if we could continue using chevrons over and over again so that there could be anywhere from 9 (the originals) to reusing them so that you could have (pick a number) 15 symbols used in an address?
Silly huh?

Yeah right Mything, misunderstood you if that was the case then yeah infinite. And sean, good plan i think :)

I thought in the movie the cheverons were a coordinate system for dialing a specific spacial location and if another gate was at that point then it would create a wormhole linking to that gate. In otherwords, each combination does not necessarily link you to a place,only places with other gates. i havnt seen the 1st and 2nd seasons so I dont know how the TV version explains it.The series does mention that the 2nd gate on earth can mess with the first if both are used at the same time.
This brings up the question 'Why does earth have two?'

Why does Earth have two? Episode reference is Solitudes when Daniel asks Teal'c if the Goa'uld would bring a second gate to a world if the first stopped working. Teal'c's answer was 'Yes.'

If the 8th Chevron is used to "dial to another zip code". Then what might the ninth do? call-waiting or a speed dial function? :) But seriously,maybe it dials an alt. universe or sumthin. The show already showed that they exist. Maybe the Ancients (who forgot to publish a "Dummys guide to the Stargate") added that feature on for kicks (maybe that where the Ancients are...hmmmm). Or maybe it does nothing...the function was planned to be added to Stargate V2.0 but marketing forced them to ship the beta unit to meet a "street date" :)

Those marketing people i don't know...
Not so sure about alternate universe though, you would have to have the gate you are dialing to to exist in that alternate universe at exactly the right place, i wonder if that would work. I think by the nature of the alternatve universe it sort of needs to be a 1 utility way thing, ie you only need one object to get there and don't rely on anything there to get there, ok that is an awful explanation but you need the mirror to get to alternatve universe but don't need a mirror that is in the alternatve universe to receive you (am i making it worse???)

I think a "Dummy's guide to Stargate" is a great idea, as no one made one i think we should some time!

Now can't you see it? Just like the Klingon Dictionary, someone somewhere is going to publish one using the pen name of S. Carter.

Only if you agree that the Arctic Gate was here first. <G> What if the Giza Gate was first? It gets buried and someone else (Sokar for example) brings another to the Arctic. Then it becomes unusable because of the location.
Now why do I saw that? Uhm, wasn't it said in Demons that the inhabitants were probably brought through the Arctic Gate? Since these people were from the Dark Ages, they were harvested after the shutting down of the Giza Gate.

Of course, there could have been two Gates running simultaneously, too. <G>

Good point....the artic gate was used after the giza gate was buried. But why put the second gate in such an inhospitable place...plenty of other places to pick that would be more centrally located....note to self,dont use Goa'uld Realty companies when looking for new home.

LOL! Here's a question for you? What if the Arctic Gate was put here by the Ancients before the ice started to build up there? Since they abandoned the Gate System, no one knew it was there. Along comes RA. He moves a Gate from another world to here so that he can start taking people to Abydos and where ever. The uprising occurs, the Gate is buried. Only someone, say Sokar, doesn't know that. One of his Jaffa Gates in and instead of going to the Giza Gate which is buried, he gets taken to the Arctic Gate instead. Ah, new world he thinks. Cold, but hey we can always bundle up, go exploring, maybe 'thread the needle' and bring in a couple of Death Gliders and fly around. <G>

Interesting theory,could work. I wonder when the artic gate was brought to tau'ri. before the Giza gate or after. It was used after the giza gate (ref.ep. "Demons") and you would think that they would have figured that it was earth. Now the system lords are not the most sharing of people. One might have brought it in later after he found out that RA's gate was not operating and figured to set up his/her own little secret human harvesting operation (Ra may have held a corner on the supply source of original human stock if he might have controled the Giza gate).
Once again I havent seen to many of the eps dealing with the Artic gate discovery so I dont know what condition they found it in so I dont know if it was victim of rebellion,natural causes,or warrenty did not covered certain maintance issues.

Arctic Gate in perfect working condition complete with DHD as can be seen in Touchstone. Just buried and long forgotten in Solitudes.

Or it is alos possible, that the Giza gate was the first Gate on Earth, after the first Gate being buried, another one was brought to Earth to harvest another part of the Earth and someone who opposed the Goa'uld hid that Gate in the Artic.

Complete with Jaffa-cicle. <G> If someone was against the Goa'uld, why hide the Gate in the Arctic? Why not just take it if they had the capability to move it?
