U need to get a life babes. X (like myself)

feels more realistic that way

And where is Walter at a time like this?

I wonder how they picked him ...

Really nailed the delivery!

He's seen enough shit to be very cautious about things. Case in point, the incident with the note from 2010. O'Neill: "...Wasn't -970 on our upcoming mission list?" Hammond: "Not anymore it's not, I'm not taking any chances. I want P4C-970 removed from the dialing computer immediately!"

On all honesty it makes sense for it to be able to use a 8 distance marker the portal could have been a seven sided shape but it's a ring

You need a girlfriend to play with!

😂😂😂😂😂 ikr groundbreaking in a fiction show

yeah, that was of the most epic moments of the whole SG.

The address was recognized as 8 not 7. Scared them.

I got goosebumps just reading your comment

They are the definition of "BFF."

Jack probably coded it in when he reprogrammed the computer earlier in the episode.

Was thinking the exact same thing. He even had the foresight to make it red and reserved some space on the screen! Maybe some sort of user acceptance test? Probably double checked with quality assurance to cover all eventualities. After having to design this weird character set of glyphs, the extra spot just was a small thing.

The episode wouldn't have been the same with a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

Well, the designer was probably brought onboard before the very first Abydos dial. Since there are 9 chevrons on the gate, he/she probably assumed that all would be used and designed the display accordingly. They didn't really know what to dial (at least, officially) until Daniel came onboard.

He could have made it so that it just put a new box so many units below the previous for each new chevron. It's how in some UI's you can end up with a ton of menu option running below the bottom of the screen if something wierd put a bunch of extra ones there.

we've lost the traveler oh shit boy!!!

A huge thing though is the sarcophagus. Ancients didn't build them because it was never shown by Ancients and had no ancient writing on it. Goauld stole tech from the ones they took over. We never met the race that built the sarcophagus nor hand devices and others. The rings were retrofitted to be ancient but Ancients really never used rings either. Atlantis had transporter elevators. No rings. Only rings were in the Antarctica episode when fighting anubis that made it ancient. They shouldn't have done that.

⁠@@fr9714in some later episodes its revealed that the sarcophagus tech was also reverse engineered ancient tech from some magic healing box that would make anyone using it go crazy😂

They do have FTL tech. I suspect that it may be the super cluster at most.

Nah, it will be woke trash. Let us enjoy the few good things we have.

Density populated countless galaxies up to several billion light years away with stargate networks, so there are quite a lot of stargates out there

@@Halesburg Have you WATCHED Stargate? The whole show is woke, dude.

@@allexstahlman4003 Watch Star Trek Discovery, the Star Wars sequel trilogy, and Terminator Dark Fate. That's the kind of thing people mean when they say woke.

i know right? they actually made alot of the stuff dealing with the dialing and effects in house that's been used since for other shows and movies

Same here buddy.

Its like you can make a Tesla coil from just 2 microwaves, or create electro magnets strong enough to suspend an adult

It's probably been said, but... Of course he could make that out of simplistic materials. He's MacGyver!

The one time use ZEDPM

And the sound of a chevron getting encoded! I also loved how they said "encoded" for each symbol except for the last one where they said "locked". They explain this way later in SG1, around season 7 or 8. So much attention to detail!

@Richard Burke they already dialed the 9 Chevron address in SGU

,,Tuuuuuh"! I love it too. 😁 In SGU they added a few sounds to the Milky way gate. When the gate is turning on. Sounds epic too.

It sounds similar to the tripod moving sound in “WAR OF THE WORLDS” (2004 movie)

​@@CaptainChromyeah but needed full zpm😊😊

He was also made an honorary Brigadier General in the US Air Force.

+Nova Light That plus it's a T.V. show. But if they needed to they could write an explanation that could be given by Carter. Amanada Tapping has always said she studied enough to understand the science or potential science of what strange thing was scripted.So enjoy

That's what Daniel says : the library gave Jack the knowledge to seek help ! Anyway there's no point of discussing that : the gate started dialing by itself so yes, Jack put a remote dialing routine. He also added the missing Milky Way gates so why would it be so strange for him to add the ability to dial a 8-chevron adress just once ?

Kelly

It was also said a number of episodes and I think a season later, that the dialing program Jack made here to dial 8 Chevron address was removed by Carter after this and replaced with the OLD standard 7 Chevron dialer, although they KEPT the Jack 8 Chevron dialer. I do not recall which episode this is stated, but I do recall it was said by Carter that they removed this dualer to study before integrating the changes and ability to dial 8. Obviously they added the 8 dialer back BY season 8 as that was the season they dialed Atlantis from SGC using a ZPM hooked into the power grid at SGC to power the gate for dialing a 8 Chevron address. Then of course you got SGU which required a WHOLE PLANET of Naquadria to dial the 9 Chevron address for Destiny on the other side of the universe. Basically a 9 Chevron address is like using the MAC address of a network device and dialing to that directly... no matter where you are, that address is unique so no matter WHERE it is in the universe, moving or not, it knows where to connect to, but since destiny was SO far, it required a planet power source. I wonder if they could dial desting with a 7 chevron address if destiny was in the MILKY WAY galaxy?? I wonder if EVERY stargate had its own unique 9 chevron address

@@Crosis2814 most likely yes, each gate has a 9 chevron and potentially even 10 and beyond chevron address, as stated, the extra chevrons are just distance modifiers, so in theory, the further something is away, the more chevrons and gate power needed.

+Dread Master Raptus I was experimenting with my computers video programs when I originally uploaded this video so sorry if your upset with it not being fully there

Nah, leave it on a cliffhanger for suspense? For anyone who hasn't seen this series, definitely a good idea!

Yeah, how could you end there? I suggest you end it when O'Neal gets there and the camera pans down the long hallway.

Well it ended up with Jack being presented with a great deal on a time share on some beach front property.

and still over 700`000 views!!! bravo

Emmerich created the first movie though (1994). Which by far I still consider far better than the continuing series. Through usage of practical effects and little computer imaginery, they achieved far better results in how it looks and how it works.

@@CZghost By far more expensive to do all that.

@@CZghost you can't really compare a Hollywood movie and a series when it comes to effects or other things. The budgets make a huge difference. However I find what Stargate did lore-wise a lot better than what the movie started

If Amazon has any brains at all, they’ll never let him near Stargate.

Leon Kernan did you come up with that because that is lovely

And he never returned No he never returned And his fate is still unlearned. He will ride forever Through a Stargate's wormhole He's the man who never returned.

davincent98 So who throws him his sandwich, every day as he passes by?

@@Egilhelmson good question

yep 1 use only though

Not really. This is a small naquadah generator

Nova Light Yeah but he made it out of terrestrial materials (mostly) and they succeeded in getting a second charge out of it in a future episode. Shouldn’t they have built more of them? Might not have been enough to power the ancient weapons platform but it could dial Atlantis.

he made a one-time-use ZPM

It was actually more like a naquadah fusion generator. No zero-point energy was involved.

😞😞😞😞

sg1 and atlantis are on netflix, get a month free trail, its hd aswell

xxJOHNLIKESPIExx They can not be seen on the Instant Queue. It can only be order via DVD.

thats wierd, it works for me, what country do you live in, it might be that, sg1 only became available in uk about 6 months ago

xxJOHNLIKESPIExx US. Guess there are different policies.

***** I am aware.

No problem I'm glad you enjoyed it

It's great that they maintain the phone analogy throughout the series, yeah. Or the time when they got stuck in Antarctica... "What happens when you dial your own phone number?" "You get a busy signal."

Well in the original movie Abydos was another galaxy as well, I'm happy that they retconned this

Having watched almost all of Stargate content, one thing just occurred to me. In the original movie, they know 6 symbols thanks to the cartouche. The gate has 36 symbols I think. If you minus the 6 known and uses symbols, they would have had 30 symbols to try as number 7, so honestly it shouldn't have been hard to open as long as they always used the 1st 6 and then just try every other symbol 1 by 1 as chevron 7. Complete random dialling of course was needle in haystack.

Retconned to hell, the first canonically dialed stargate in the series was on some broken down world where the explorer got tripped for 50 years because of the stargate dialing device being destroyed. The stargate from the movie was also stated to be at the edge of the known universe many galaxies away. The problem of their not being that many symbols on it is just a problem it inherited from a movie where the gate was only really supposed to go to one destination.

In order to dial 9 chevrons, you still have to dial 7 first. So before they reached the 8th and 9th chevrons, the gate would have simply opened once they used the right symbol.

​@@Domihorknot really, last chevron of the sequence needs to be the point of origin for the gate to activate,, it serves as sort of delimiter

im not sure if they were going to experience an 8th cheveron

Well, it had nine from the start. But the nine chevrons idea came from Emmerich after all. In the series they more or less said that an seven symbols address dials any valid gate in the local galaxy, eight symbols dials a stargate in another galaxy (which i'd like to point out was in 1994 movie how the seven symbols address appeared to work (Milky Way to Mayak)), and nine symbols are used to contact Destiny/Seed Ships/older models that use a different method to generate wormholes that are supposed to have a shorter range. That's the series version of the story. I wonder if Emmerich had any ideas for those though. When I was a kid, I watched Fifth Race and I was thinking that it would be a rather ineffectual way to dial another galaxy to use another symbol to designate a different area code. That'd mean, after all, that it could only dial 37 different galaxies. In the end I settled for "it uses a different way to calculate the distance between the the targeted gate and the point of origin."

@@tywinlannister8015 Yeah there are slip ups, but it could be less of an address and more of a code, as was the case with SGU, in the sense that a different style of Data goes across, eg Phone lines can transmit voices as we know but then there is also other signals that allow Internet, and in the Dial Up era we would pick up phone and hear all the beeping noises. So not just a phone book but the addresses can also be part of a form of code system, but works like pressing the 2nd function key on a remote or whatever and suddenly you are typing channel numbers associated with the button instead of letters

To be fair, it's not hard to assume that it would be needed, given it can be seen that the gate has nine chevrons. They all must have a use.

Its more likely the program is displaying data from the gate. Thus if the gate outputs 8 cheverons so be it.

Isn't this a mix of the old human made interface and the ancient modification jack added? So Jacks modification would also add this necessary space for another chevron.

One use to connect. And then the Asgard gate provided the power to keep the gate open.

+Leon Kernan i have come to the conclusion that most of the reasoning behind how the stargate works is just made up on the fly to suit that current episode

atleast once they establish a pseudo rule they kind of stick to it. 8 chevrons for intergalactic 9 for mobile pas through a solar falre for time travel.

and black holes just fuck things up

kyle hubner they stick with the general rule but the smaller details change every episode

Shanee Bahera I think it has to do with the buildup of energy needed. This was the first time they dialed 8 chevrons so their infrastructure couldn’t send all of it to the gate at once. Whereas in later episodes (like when they use the ZPM to dial Atlantis) they are ready for it.

That's how gate addresses work, the final symbol is always the local point of origin, like a null-terminated string. Technically, the design of the PoO symbol doesn't even matter, you could bring another planet's DHD to Earth, connect it, and it should work fine since it's still the same "symbol index" internally. The design being planet-specific is to make it stick out from the other 38, as well as being a secondary method of identifying _which_ planet you're on.

It would also suggest that not all gates are directly accessible from all other gates. @@WackoMcGoose

@@ThaFuzzwood Yes and no. SGU introduced the idea of Nine-Chevron Addresses acting as "access by gate serial number", which was the only way to dial Destiny since it was out of even Eight-Chevron range (depositing gates in galaxies that "had yet to be assigned an Eighth Chevron Area Code"). Assuming enough power was supplied, if you knew the eight symbols of a gate's serial number, you could _theoretically_ Nine-Chevron your way from any gate to any other gate (even between Earth and Abydos, if they knew how to identify those gates' serial numbers, using the same amount of power as the traditional Seven-Chevron method since travel distance is the main factor in determining power requirements).

​@@WackoMcGoose9-chevron-mode was probably only ever meant to be used by the Alterans. Mortals could figure out the 'grouped by area' constellation system with a 'home' glyph to finish the sequence.

Yea

I reckon Jack sent a code using the computer

yea but i dont think it would have had the power to dial alantis

It is used in a later episode in an alternate universe, so it works again

Indeed

Yeah 😂 the human race has a sh!t load of growing up to do first.

To be fair, the Tau'ri of the Stargateverse are clearly _much_ different than our world. Not to mention the planet-wide plot armor...

He would.

3 points but then everything is always moving so 3 more points to match the movements in the galaxy since the reference time. The 7 th sets another expansion direction for cosmic expansion.

This. Nice response, Awol. Indeed, the universe keeps expanding, so we need some original coordinates and the vectors in which direction it has expanded.

who knows really? i mean stargate tries to stay at least somewhat believable when it comes to the science, but it is possible the bootstrap 1 use only ZPM he built also had a wireless transmitter to the gate the same way i think the DHD is both a dialer and a power transmitter seeing how the gates themselves do not have a power source

@@NovaLight1990 The gates are themselves massive capacitors, too. Maybe under normal circumstances, the gate draws _just enough_ power to dial a local address, stops drawing power, and begins dialing (which is why unplugging the gate never seems to kill the connection, it's already stored all it needs... plus that episode where they beamed the gate up to a ship in orbit and it had just enough _stored_ power to manual-dial out once). It drawing power for _far longer than normal_ was the red flag. ...Of course, this _doesn't_ explain why you can't just "charge it long enough off the normal power grid" to dial an Eight-Chevron Address...

@@WackoMcGoose personally i think it could but the SGC's power grid was the limitation and it possibly would take weeks if not months of charging to have enough power for a dial out and even then it might've only been a brief wormhole like in Atlantis's message in a bottle where the ZPM on Atlantis literally only had enough power to dial earth for a second or 2, and t hat's why jack made his one time use ZPM, though why they never replicated it after i don't know as they literally had people watching him build it X_X plus even 1 time use for intergalactic dialing it would've been powerful enough for more mundane things and it was literally outside of the jaffa staff weapons liquid power cell all human tech, *sighs* sometimes it irks me that they come up with things such as jack ZPM they could've studied easily and just forgets it after

What if he added the booster on the gate side of the breaker (i.e the breaker would not of gotten the current)

+Ginie K I've since lost all SG-1 episodes that I used to have since I uploaded this one due to a virus forcing me to wipe out my HDD and reinstall my OS a month after I had uploaded this and before I was able to upload longer videos

xfiler93 Which is interesting for someone who is a military man.

Well, technically every NCO is a sergeant. No matter how high in rank one gets as an NCO, one will still be referred to as “sergeant.” It’s like when an officer makes general. There are many different ranks of general (1-5 star), but all are still referred to as “general.”

@@lucasjelif Fair enough, thanks for the explanation!

i think the extra space for the 8th chevron was due to the coding jack under the influence of the 'ancients' database that was downloaded into his mind put in while he added all the gates that the normal goa'uld never knew about lol

@@NovaLight1990 Yeah, it makes total sense that at the same time as Big Brain Jack coding the system to be _capable_ of dialing Eight-Chevron Addresses in the first place, of course he'd also update the GUI...

Just a courtesy call. @@WackoMcGoose
