A MAtter of Time question

[shu_hunter]

just so there's no confusion, a MAtter of Time is the season 2 episode where they dial to the planet with the Black Hole.

Here's my question - why did the wormhole stay open for the standard time in perspective to Earth when they dialed HERE, but when we dialed out, it stayed open in perspective to the planet?

All to do with relative speed of time passing...

(but don't ask me how )

lol, ya when they dialed here we still percieved time at its normal rate. but when we dialed them than time started to slow down, creating teh tempral distortians. is that any clearer?

wormhole

Time-matter displacement.

My reason and I'm sticking to it.

I think time was still distorted when they dailed here, but it was worse when we dialed there because it was afterwards and the black hole was closer to the stargate. Time and gravity distortions whent both ways, probably. Jedispara, are you saying Time and gravity distortions can only come through an OUTGOING wormhole?

good point, cause transmission can go both ways so why can't gravity!

 

[Rowan]

two way

Yep. Every time they contact a team via radio they prove that.

I agree with the theory of time and matter displacement. No question there that it was that that was causing the time lapses. My question is...even with the connected wormhole, how does the black hole still affect the earth in terms of gravitational attraction from that distance...they are LIGHT YEARS away. What properties of an open wormhole allow for a black hole to affect us even from that distance?

I did get it to a point when I saw the episode but I haven't seen it for AGES so I can't remember all the tech details.

Black Holes are one subject that REALLY interest me, I love the whole relativity idea. However, due to the lack of information in the school syllabus, I haven't really had the chance to learn more about them.

Through some trans-dimensional mechanism the distance between earth and "target" planet are brought much closer, hence the gravity can travel through the wormhole, rather than across the "real" space between the two points.

 

[shazstar]

ok cool, in which case...what is the transdimensional mechanism then?

 

[PTeppic]

The wormhole!!!

Otherwise it would still take dozens/hundreds/thousands of light years instead of 5-10 seconds to reach the destination when travelling. And for all we know that is mostly the decomposition and recomposition time - unsupportable and unlikely, but speculation!

 

[shazstar]

fair enough.

I really hate it whan you get to a point in these threads where you finally have to admit that part of this problem is due to poetic license!
