1969 fave ep

One time travel at a thing

This is Carter, not Morden

Within the Stargate universe, TECHNICALLY true.

"Window of Opportunity" fave time travel ep. or does that count as time travel?

Wow, you learn something new everyday!

Cool, I didn't know that ^^

Yup all in the family can feel the conflict bonding thete

hu? i had no idea. thanks for the info! wow

@@RoadRunnerMeep What is the thing you learned? Because the thing I just learned is what irl means. :D

Universe bombed, by the time they figured it might be worth rebooting Roland Emmerich wanted to reboot the movies going with his original plan for the series, now all the actors are old and MGM has been bought out.

@@SpencerLemay Universe bombed for the same reason that firefly bombed. It was good but it was too different from the thing that had made the brand famous. I remember seeing the first few episodes and quitting in disgust, and then 6 years later thinking it was the greatest space opera ever. Maybe the technology of deepfakes will allow us to have more episodes with the younger version of the actors we have grown to love. I am still in love with Samantha Carter from season 1 of sg1.

@@macrumpton Season 1 of Universe was hot garbage. I didn't see season 2 but heard it was good. I remember watching season 1 on the original airing being super excited, and probably around episode 3 I was thoroughly disappointed and watching each new episode was a waste of a Friday night. My philosophy is Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis took the series to it's logical conclusion and is over. We don't really need anymore Stargate, modern TV studios would never make what the fans want anyway. Nothing lasts forever and people need to be willing to let things die and get excited about new things. De-aged deepfakes are expensive and creepy. Just let actors get old and die so we can see new ones.

Well put. I long for a rework of this franchise...

They could continue off universe. The entire crew was in stasis, but could play it off as quite a few years have passed.

Indeed.

Played by his real life sister if I'm not mistaken.

@@rhettbaldwin8320 yeah ... i had always the feeling it gives some extra points to their acting.

@@rhettbaldwin8320 Correct.

@@andrewmeredith4753 fair enough.

"MEREDITH RODNEY MCCAY!!!"

You do know that they are real siblings and IRL, right?

I know

TO ALL STARGATE FANS:Check out the KZfaq channel called dial the gate it has interviews with the stargate stars and behind the scenes people and they're hosting these interviews a few weekends per month, you also have a chance to ask questions to the stars In the interviews.. Please pass on the message to help keep the fandom strong please and thank you..👍❤️👍

"multiple times"

@@kebabgud although I don't think Rodney has, Elizabeth and Zelenka did so once (first arrival in Atlantis) and Sheppard 3 times (first arrival with Elizabeth and Zelenka and twice via sola flare) but I think that's it as far as Atlantis is concerned. Or am I missing something. (Well technically I'm missing Carter since she was on Atlantis for a time and she has a lot of time travel experiences but I don't think that we got any apart from that)

He probably read the report for their time travel to 1969. Off the top of my head I can’t remember if they had woken the older Wier before or after this episode to know what had happened on Atlantis the first time around.

Darn. They should have continued with ep streams with new actors and scenes left to die on the bone is not fair and the new plotlines and current cgi tech wood make it amazing. Heck I'd even pay for it like picard

Well thats the funny part the actress is actually the sister of the actor of rodney mckay so yes they had a perfect brother sister chemistry cause they where brother and sister

@@mnarath8376 I think original poster was being facetious.

@@Matej_Sojka quite possible its still funny trough that two siblings played siblings in a series on tv

Originally Mckay had a brother, but David Hewlett requested they change it to be a sister so that she could play the role

@@hukoseft definitely a better choice. Makes the scenes more believable.

Not an orbit then, but a hover under active propulsion.

you can be in orbit while under propulsion, they are in a spaceship after all

She said geosynchronous. Not geostationary. I don’t think you could even be geostationary anywhere except over the equator

@@elymayer4860 By the look of it they are over the equator, but far too close. They have anti-gravity so it wouldn't be an issue. My apologies if they said geosynchronous, I will have to watch the video again.

@@elymayer4860 only difference between geosyncronous and geostationary is the inclination, you can still do both at any hight if you are under propulsion

fuckin priceless

Except that currently we are stuck with the speed limit. It would take several lifetimes to get to anywhere decent. Unless you count the planets in our solar system interesting.

@@Kamuka1024 I like to think that we just haven't solved that part of the equation yet, would be sad if we were basically stuck in our own part of the galaxy like that.

All of you are correct. The life depicted in Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon5, The Expanse, Dark Matter, etc, is better than our mundane existence today.

@@Kamuka1024 Oh please, when did arbitrary laws of physics ever stopped humanity from going somewhere. "Go fast" is literally out moto ^^

Depends on a person. Somebody wants to go out and explore entire universe. Some other person will never leave his birthplace.

Been there done that seeing 3 massive uap triangles deorbit makes u wonder how many and where they build and store these craft

@@rsprockets7846 what is a UAP TRIANGLES?

For a satellite, yes. But a powered craft like the BC304 can maintain a orbit without having to maintain a higher orbit like an unpowered or minimally powered satellite.

@@keirfarnum6811 An orbit is unpowered by definition. If it's using thrust to maintain a geostationary position well below geostationary orbit altitude, it's just hovering. Not orbiting.

Absolutely right! I'm beginning to suspect that this show was not a documentary.

You're right. I think it's 22,000 miles, isn't it?

@@keirfarnum6811 That's not how it works. Being in orbit is by definition a freefall trajectory. If you need constant thrust to maintain your position that isn't orbit, that's just hovering. (which would be a waste because you could just park in orbit for free).

Bg chemistry and plotlines too bad they killed the franchise

Scifi writers have no sense of scale.

They usually wright for the "Rule of Cool" or to show the effect they want" more so than being accurate. But yes, you are right.

Keep in mind the ship has different properties due to artificial gravity generation. and maybe other tech. can we know for certain how it should be?

@@larsb4572 It doesn't matter what the ship does, or can do. Geosynchronous orbit is a long way out.

@@sylviaelse5086 geosync being its in the same spot in the sky, if you were to look at it from the surface, and it follows the earths rotation?

@@TheGUARDIANOFFOR Not with Einstein's time, where time is simply another dimension. So if you move yourself in time, then sure, there will be an acceleration and deceleration in your motion, but it will only be observable by you ie. the moving object. So to the outside observer can't tell if you are moving through a Fourth dimension, which interjects all points of 3D space or simply moving instantly in 3 dimensions.

If you time travel, you need to move through all four dimensions at once; the Earth (and the rest of the universe) won’t be where you left it.

@@bubbledoubletrouble That is true mathematically. As each moment in time is essentially a frozen instance of 3D space. But might not have to be practically, because just like in 3d space you can devise a way to move in just one dimension along a "single axis" as it would seem through your perception, abstracting it to 3d space, like we do with objects put into 2D. Moving through 3D as well as time is also advantageous and desirable, since you have to account for Earth's rotation, orbit, the system actually orbiting the galaxy and the galaxy being hurled through space. It could be compared to landing on a moving craft with a helicopter. Sure a helicopter can move more or less only up, but it won't land back on a moving platform doing that, so moving through both time and space is desirable.

I should add that moving through time does not mean the other forces will be counter acted. So there's that to figure out too. But the forces will still be acting on you as you move through time, even backwards if you move into the past. But those are all mechanics of Time travel, not of using 4D space (Time) to move yourself to a different location in the same instance, which doesn't have to account for the flux of the universe, as the time will be the same only the space will be different. Like when you lift a thing off a conveyor and place it elsewhere. (3D travel in 2D space in motion.)

Not only that but teleportation is the same as travelling you move in 3 dimensions and time traveling the same as not time travelling you move through time.

"it's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside"

@@TheShootist Ha ha right!

I'm wondering how you'd spoof this? You'd need a contact anaesthetic to knock her out when she touched his hand...a bright light to blind her so any dizziness or falling feeling can be blamed on "teleporting" rather than getting knocked out... Then you'd need a set for her to wake up in, with a led screen to project the "view" of Earth from space

And of course they have artificial gravity in space, what else. Didn't knew there was a star trek normal version of stargate, with it's teleportation what's the point of stargates.

That whole scene with O'neil and Rush walking up to Eli's door was great. The O'neil sarcasm was still locked and loaded.

It's not possible with our current tech to maintain a geosynchronous orbit at a lower altitude; because our current tech applies a force when the chemical rockets are burning, and then the ship just coasts; so the orbital height is a function of orbital speed/energy. If you have a spacecraft that can apply constant thrust all the time with enough energy excess that you're not worried about fuel, then you could apply orthogonal continuous thrust to maintain a constant spot above the earth at a lower altitude. It'd be incredibly wasteful, energy wise, and for no real benefit; but I imagine it can be done. I wouldn't really call it an "orbit" though, so that descriptor would still be inaccurate, even if they were doing active station keeping.

Like they say artificial gravity, with that they can geosynchronous 1 meter above the earth surface

Nah. It's an interstellar vessel with an alien intergalactic hyperdrive. Our ships suck, and aren't built for a long intergalactic journey. Thank goodness for hyperspace

Telling the director usually works. Humans can articulate their intentions through these things called 'words' as I understand it.

@@BogeyTheBear Tell us more about this concept of Words.

Money.

It's my understanding that his sister's character had initially been written as a guy, but they changed it to a female character at Hewlett's request so his sister could try out for it.

Just wondering, but could you explain that? Geosynchronous orbit just means always being above the same spot on earth. If they are closer to earth then they just have to move quicker. Something a casual satellite might not be able to do. But a BC-304 sure is able to do that easily. Maybe I'm just not seeing your point. That's why I'm asking for an explanation.

@@lordazazil you have to be farther away to get geosynchronous orbit. Can't get it in low Earth orbit, that's what they mean.

I can forgive some technical errors in a TV show since it is such a visual medium, if you made it like it would really look, most things would be just a dot, or at least too small to have any visual impact (especially space battles). They also somehow manage to have way too much light in a scene, usually by having a nebula in the background like a cloud, that is again a hundred times too bright. But my main peeve is the sounds in space, zoom, swish, pweew pweew, boom! If you are inside the ship, fine there will be lots of background noise from the mechanical systems, maybe even the engines (but given the energy levels involved, any imbalance or leakage that would result in sound would most likely be deadly). The movie 2001 is one of the very few that actually got most of it correct, or at least as near as possible.

@@lordazazil yeah, so orbital speeds are directly related to orbital altitude. If you orbit closer to the planet, you will travel at a high relative speed compared to the surface - slowing down would mean falling into the atmosphere, and speeding up would put you into a higher orbit. For example, at altitudes such as the ISS orbits, about 250 miles up, typically called Low Earth Orbit, you orbit approximately once every 90 minutes. That's considerably faster than the spin of the planet, so you can't stay above one spot on the globe at that hight and speed. If you were to try to hold position at that altitude, you'd basically have to be continuously thrusting upwards against gravity to stop yourself falling to earth. I suppose it is possible, but you're talking burning an astonishing amount of propellant to stay there, and you wouldn't describe that position as being in orbit, but really as hovering. If you want to be in geostationary orbit, you have to reach an orbital altitude where the time it takes to orbit the planet it 24 hours, the same as the spin of the planet. That's a bit over 22 thousand miles up. It's still a lot closer than, say, the moon, but it's a lot higher than the kind of low earth orbit view we tend to see. This is further complicated by the fact that all orbits have to cross the equator. To be truly geostationary, you have to pick an orbit above a point along the equator somewhere. To stay in orbit above a point north or south of the equator, companies using satellites for purposes such as TV and communication have to put multiple satellites up on complex orbits to relieve eachother as they drift off target. If you want to know more about orbits and experience how they work, I highly recommend the space aim game Kerbal Space Program. It uses a slightly simplified model that is actually really helpful in learning by experiencing what happens, plus you get to build your own rockets.

@@waynecampeau4566 Very true. Gravity is pretty good, and so is The Expanse. Firefly/Serenity did sound pretty well too.

Perhaps that's judt shoeing what soet of person she is, ne?

Nice catch!

That thing in LEO orbit would be visible with any kind of telescope

That's what I thought. Geosynchronous orbit is about 1/10 the distance to the moon, which is pretty darn high up.

They mention artificial gravity

So did General O'Neill and Dr. Rush when they teleported Eli. Quite a few parallels if you ask me.

At this point they already acquired the fake memory technology from that one episode of SG-1
