now remind me why the whole gate spins again? shouldn't it be the coordinate things in the middle ring that should spin to lock up on a certain chevron? or is this like whatever is on the top center?
Once again lads, "we're talking about a giant ring that allows you to be moved from one planet to another within seconds... and the ones that created those rings also have drones that seemingly have no propulsion yet they still move in space... we can pretty much throw out logic out the window."
if the gate would be in space and not on a planet how would it spin? what would it push against? it would be unable to spin by itself without a platform.
@Shockszzbyyous Earthtype gates can be in space too, since the middle of the gate is the part that spins, not the whole gate itself. and we're talking about a giant ring that allows you to be moved from one planet to another within seconds... and the ones that created those rings also have drones that seemingly have no propulsion yet they still move in space... we can pretty much throw out logic out the window.
@CIarKent Only the front panel spins while the majority of the gate's mass either stays stationary (when mounted in place) or rotates in the opposite direction (in space).
Also, there is no sign that there even ARE orbital gates out there. The Alterans didn't start placing gates in space until they migrated to Pegasus dwarf irregular galaxy. (PEG-DIG)
I watched the movie earlier tonight (yesterday?) with a friend. The SG-1 and Atlantis stargate designs made sense. Why does the gate itself have to spin? Besides cool factor, it's nonsensical.
In a comic book there was a prototype gate found on an island in the south pacific one which could actually dial the sgc on earth through a malfunction which overloaded the gate destroying the island in a nuclear blast this is another reason the gate at the sgc was shelved no only fear of the apparent dangers it posed there was fear the normal gate could overload in the same way i think that the destroyed gate was the first anyway
@ahdeath2007 hang, on, if a gate explodes, doesn't it usually do so with enough force to end all life on Earth? why would only an island be destroyed?
@ransac16 Don't think that matters, the Naquadah (Did I get it right?) causes the Stargate to gather a massive amount of power in a very short time, all Stargates are made of the material so an explosion should be of the same level despite advancement in Stargate tech.
@ransac16 nono, it explodes with enough force to take a CHUNK of the planet with it. and that ate only has enough force to blow up an entire island cause it's an older model... you know, those can't go from one end of the galaxy to the other, they need to hop between each one.
@zandar49 You mean a Destiny Gate right? And I didn't mean it took out the entire planet, I meant it threw out so much debris and radiation that people would get sick and the sun would be blocked out for a little. Though I will admit the immediate area would pretty much vanish, as Star Gate explosions can be seen from Space.
these gates were the ancients prototypes and only dial gate in range, so there pretty efficient the only way to dial other planets is to add more power and for earth they need astronomical amounts of it,
is that gate really like that? with the piece of floor at the bottom, inside the gate? how exactly would that piece of floor survive the gate's activation?
@StargateFan4 about the fact that both types of gates (milky way and pegasus ) have the bottom in the stone is false.They are indeed blocked in the stone but at the limit of the event horizon and with so much precision what did not see this fact.
well about the destiny gate i still wait an answer why the floor where is the gates is disintegrated.
The Kawoosh extends right in the middle... Every Gate (but Destiny's for production reasons) have a space on which you can walk through like about 2.2 metres. That makes 0.3 metres of Event Horizon below ground and the Gatering itself has its lowest point about one meter below ground. Believe me I have modeled quite a few Gates and have gathered rather precise intel.
I have to admit is that there should be some space for the event horizon in ground.
@iamafractal if you go re watch Stargate you will see the "kawooch" is only in the middle of the wormhole and not taking up the full worm hole. If you look at Stargate Atlantis its like this, sunk in to the floor of the gate room so no need for a ramp and same with off world SG1 episodes.
Naja bei Atlantis hat sich der innere Teil auch nicht gedreht sondern bestand aus Leuchtdioden. Und das das Gate aus SG1 war ein Nachbau der Goa'uld. Da das Schiff ja anscheinend von den Antikern gebaut wurde und mindestens genauso antik ist, wird das wohl eines der ersten Gates gewesen was sie gebaut haben. Man beachte ja den kleinen Zeitunterschied zwischen dem Bau der Destiny (zwar schneller als Licht aber nicht Hyperraum fähig) zu Atlantis (eine ganze Stadt die Hyperraumantrieb hat).
this is weird, its earlier then the SG-1 gates.. but in ark of truth in the ancient scene you se the guys paper" i had agreat idea last night", and the design of tthat gate is like SG-1.. .. .. ..
well the ancients sent Destiny out long before they built Atlantis, this is probably an earlier design of gate which was built after the ones in SG1, but is not as advanced as the ones in Atlantis which don't spin. Just my explanation.
Think about this though: You can't dial the Atlantis gate manually (intentional, I'm sure) whereas the Milky Way gates can, provided you still have power.
@RCTPatriot75 Destiny may have left Earth only a couple hundred thousand years ago, but it is never stated when the gate-seeding ships leave. It may well be that only the Destiny's gate and other Destiny-style gates can dial each other, except for Destiny's own gate which can be reached by the 9 chevron address.
it's one of the oldest odels of gate. take note of the morse code like symbols instead of constellations. these gates have a stamped adress. others are reached by centering them inside a somewhat ring of constellations then giving a point of origin of one behind you to make a line in between all six/7/8 constellations and center on the system with hte gate you want to reach.
@ProtoKun7 in the show, yes....thats what it "does". but in reality (on set) only the front face spins....the back and the center ring (the bumpy/raised ring that runs around the gate between the back face and the front) are completely stationary. Trust me, im on the set more then you can imagine.
WHAT?!?!?! THAT'S ALL IT DOES?!?!? OMG IT'S SUPPOSED TO LIGHT UP AND SPEAKERS EVERYWHERE ARE SUPPOSED TO MAKE IT'S SOUNDS WTF UPDATE THIS S*** plox? i prefer that.
this new gate is pretty AWESOME!! in my comparison, the original gate design from the stargate movie was origianlly adapted from the series.. then when the SG atlantis came by, the gate is now somewhat a high tech DIGITAL STARGATE.. but the NEW UNIVERSE gate design...like i said.. is pretty awesome and from what i can tell, very different from the 2 stargate designs... i hope they reveal more on the show
I loved seeing this in the Universe opening. Slowly moving through the ship as it "wakes up" like Atlantis did, then we move to the gate room as the whole gate quietly finished dialing... before people start flying out of it.
I think the gate you see here is unique to the Destiny and shouldn't be thought of as a 'generation of gates'. It is clear that it is part of the ship as it has a 'gate bearing' above it which is actually built to the ceiling of the ship. It also doesn't have star constellations like other gates because as it travels to different galaxies, stars will be completely different. The marking will correspond to star constellations depending on where it is.
If the gate was more like a Pegasus style gate then they wouldnt need these special markings as the gate could just "update" or something and get a totally new set of constellations for the gate since pegasus gates are essentially "digital" where as Milkyway gates and this gate seem to be more "analog" due to the fact that there isnt any way for the constellations to change regardless if they actually would change (who knows) due to the design of the inner track / watever on Destiny's gate...
You know, the gate spinning makes no sense, on Sg-1 the gate spun because the SGC didnt have a proper DHD, so it spun like it was being dialed manually because of their man made DHD. The gate on Atlantis appeared to spin, but it was just the symbols being spun that gave it that effect. If you pay attention to this gate on Destiny, the chevrons are spinning along with the symbols or numbers so it doesnt make sense for it to spin at all, especially since the ship would have its own DHD.
Actually, the spinning is common to ALL gates! The stargates in the Milky Way all spun to dial an address. It cost about $5,000 everytime they used the gate on the show, so some special effects were cut out. But as far as the show itself goes, they all spin to dial the address.
The only difference I've ever seen is with Orlins gate which only went one place and the Tholin made gate that was never fully shown at all. Also, sometimes the earth and off world gates spin on a remote dial-in and sometimes they don't. Again this was controlled by budget. It eventually became standard to have an incoming wormhole not spin and an outgoing one to spin.
Now, as far as how THIS gate spins: this is the OLDEST form of stargate. Those in Atlantis is the newest form. The Milky Way is Mark II for a lack of better term. It is only natural that the design be refined significantly.
Also, the Tholin\nox made gate seemed larger but in the epi. O'Neill said it looked smaller. lol.
If the Original Stargate we know and love is Mark ll, and this one is Mark l, shouldn't in the "Ark of Truth" movie, the ancients pre-stargate notes of the stargate have a diagram of THIS stargate instead of the Orange one?
Not in our galaxy. Those notes were for our galaxy.
Or maybe it was because no one knew this show would be made at the time... yeah. Maybe that's it. But it is firmly established in SU that these were first and that the ship was used to seed them.
as we know milkyway gates and pegasus gates use 7 dialing codes to connect to other gates in their respective galaxies and when dialing between the two 8 codes are used 6 for the 3d point in space the 7th for point of origin and 8th for point of galaxy reprtedly i read somewhere that this "new" gate uses a 9th code which may allow it track the other gate on the destiny ship in real time or as others have said auto tune
If the gate on the Destiny Auto aligns in the gate system, it should technically still never work, because you can't dial a moving gate, that was a key problem in haveing the gates aboard the goul,d mother ships, they had to exit sub space and stop, to align and dial it. There for this gate must be more advanced then the Milky way and Pegasus Gates
If you watch the first 5 mins when they are dialing the gate in the milky way, that fat kid says it's some sort of code, not a 3D address like conventional gates. Might work in a similar way. Suppose we'll have to watch and see!!!
Think of it like this. Instead of using coordinates like 7 and 8, a 9 chevron address works like a cell phone number. You call the same number and no matter where the person is, it reaches them.
You raise a fair point, So you are basically saying this gate has a Roaming feature?, does that mean the only reason they can't dial earth is because of the DHD application or the power requirements?
I'm going to say it's a little of both. After all, in the Pegasus galaxy the only DHD capable of dialing more than 7 chevrons is the one in Atlantis. Also, if they're on the other side of the universe in a damaged ship, it's possible that it can't provide the power to get back.
actually its more like coordinates, if a gate/planet w/gate has moved they need to adjust the address for its new location the DHD does this for them but in order for earths gate to do it they had to create a program to compensate (since earth had to make shift a DHD)
I thought destiny was build at the height of the ancient civiliation maybe along the same time as Atlantis but maybe a bit after that because we know not all the ancients left with Atlantis this would be a new feature but the puddle jumper auto align themselves with the gate network so why shouldn't the gates do that aswell because the tech of destiny looks similar to Atlantis if not a little more advanced
Idan111 is wrong the Antarctic gate was one of the oldest in the milky way system not one of the oldest gates it would make sense that the destiny would have a more advanced gate that the milky way but less advanced that Atlantis the destiny gate looks more like a step between the two having some of the features of the Atlantis gate like no movable inner ring and some of the features of the milky way gate but looks more advanced than the milky way gates
You could be right because it is Way advanced than the milkeyway and the Pegasus gate because it tunes it self into a destination where ever it is unlike the Milkeyway and Pegasus gate that have to be done manualy.
Also the reason the ship is called "The Destiny" is because it has a self timer that is exploring the universe.
@Striker5551 : actually the sgu stargate design is the oldest. They even say it in the pilot or in the second episode that the destiny's gate is like a prototype. In fact while Milky Way and Pegasus Stargates are capable of dialing every stargate in their galaxy, sgu stargates can only dial the neighbouring stargates and the Destiny can reach a stargate only when it's in range (which is of course a giant limitation).
@pieddu actually it may not be the oldest there could have been a prototype where it was just from 1 gate to another before they relised the could make it dial multiple gates like a phone, Bit like the tin can and some string.
@StargateFan4 they likely would have been two when the ancients started they probably would have experimented with two gates in two systems then eventually it would have led to the mass seeding of the universe
@pieddu Well the reason it can only dial to gates near it is becuase of the fact that it has a limited power supply. In a episode resontly (The awakening) they could have dialed earth if they combined the power supply from destiny and one of the seed ships. If they can gate that far away with two ships then maybe they can gate to gates farther away. Posibly it is even that they just have that buffer their to sort of put the ship in a safe mode not to waste all the power in one connection.
Perhaps it's not older or newer at all. It could have even been built as Destiny's own unique gate for all we know, unless the producers have said otherwise in which case I'm aware.
the gate in "universe" is the very first version of the gate. the most 'primitive' one.
that's why there is just one ring instead of two, which is why the entire gate needs to spin. the ancients later improved the design for the milky way gates by having two rings and only the inner one had to spin and the entire gate didn't have to.
and they only had to spin in manual dials when there's no DHD.
the most advanced design was in pegasus where the gate was entirely digital with no moving parts
Actually we don't officialy know if it was the VERY first gate yet it could be 2nd. Don't forget about secret ancient labs where there could have been prototypes that had worked!
there is absolutely no reason to assume that the universe gate is an earlier model. In fact, there can even be reasons against it
The Destiny is said to have been built at the height of the Ancients civilization by the producers.
It was part of a grand experiment to seed the galaxies with gates. The first ship was sent and the Destiny was sent after to explore these galaxies. We have no idea how much later Destiny was sent, so why would we assume it has an earlier model of a stargate?
They did say that the Destiny Gate is the oldest version.This makes absolutely no sense because the show stated that Destiny is only a couple hundred thousand years old. According to SGA Atlantis left Earth millions of years ago and Atlantis without question is more advanced,also the chair in Atlantis and the one left on Earth were also millions of years old, so why is the chair and Gate on a much more recently built ship less advanced?They have gotten their own timelines screwed up.
@RCTPatriot75 it is the oldest, I don't remember who said it, but the closer you get to the speed of light the slower the aging process is. In the case of the Destiny, the Ancients managed to surpass light speed, as a result the ship does most of its aging while it is out of FTL. Hence why the ship appears to be a couple of hundred thousand years old, vs a couple of million years. Hope I cleared some things up. But don't take my word for it.
a stargate is made up of 2 rings a inner and a outer the inner ring is the one with the symbols it is supose to spin the outer ring has the chevrons and it stays still but the chevrons do move as they lock this is an inaccurate video i hope they fix it in editing
you have to keep an open mind about the stargates form. the pegesus gates dont a visible inner tract that you see spin, and besides, this is a really old gate compared to the ones in the milky way
Could be a new ring. In Star Gate Atlantis you saw the "original gate" (in terms of story, not show) and since you new the Goa'uld stole technology, they made it more "Egyptian" than the original gate (story plot once again). We might see a even newer gate now, who knows. XD
Am I the only person who compares dialling a stargate with dialling a phone? We've moved on from the old 'rotary dial' phones years ago to push buttons!
The Pegasus gates were about the closest to 'modern' technology there is. Push button DHD and the gate remains static and the 'digital 'symbols' move. Why is this WHOLE gate spinning?
Because this Stargate is older than the Milkyway gates. The entire Destiny ship is the Stargate itself, what you're seeing there is just the dialling ring.
At least now we don't have that embarrassing and shonky 'gate-shake' when the prop comes to a stop and the chevron locks. Way back when SG-1 first started and I saw that cheap prop shudder, I thought Roland Emmerich might have had a point. And they barely got it right thru the whole series. This time, it looks SOLID...
Makes sense from the point of view of technological regression
Mk 3 Pegasus gates: No rotation
Mk 2 Milky Way / Ida gates: Partial rotation
Mk 1 Prototype gates: Full rotation
Kinda reminds me of the original concept for the dialling process of Mk 2 gates as found in the novelization of the original movie - wherein the inner & outer tracks would both counter-rotate while the gate was dialling
Can't help but wonder how it'd work in 0g, with no absolute 'up' though. No orbital gates I s'pose...
the way stargate is they may try turn asgard good sesne they are the last of their kind, i do see them doing a movie about the wraith . and the creatures in that episodes throught they was defeated they was michaels handly work also
I'm thinking the Asgard... But from what I've read that Michael the Wraith is going to be in this movie. So I can only assume its flashback, or he's still alive ^_^
yeah, if you read my reply post to someone who already mentioned you'd see I'd relised that and got the name wrong, I meant the other wraith, the one that was there at the very last episode... I just forget his name... alot... u.u
I liked Michael tho... he was just miss-understood...
Well its not Icarus set. Its Destiny set and Destiny gate.
From what we know the Chevrons themselves light up as they go through the lightbulb above the gate, as it spins and there's a lot of steam coming out from the below part.
I still like SG-1 the best

this new gate is pretty AWESOME!! in my comparison, the original gate design from the stargate movie was origianlly adapted from the series.. then when the SG atlantis came by, the gate is now somewhat a high tech DIGITAL STARGATE.. but the NEW UNIVERSE gate design...like i said.. is pretty awesome and from what i can tell, very different from the 2 stargate designs... i hope they reveal more on the show
voltespr1me 2 years ago
I loved seeing this in the Universe opening. Slowly moving through the ship as it "wakes up" like Atlantis did, then we move to the gate room as the whole gate quietly finished dialing... before people start flying out of it.
I was like... "Woah."

I think the gate you see here is unique to the Destiny and shouldn't be thought of as a 'generation of gates'. It is clear that it is part of the ship as it has a 'gate bearing' above it which is actually built to the ceiling of the ship. It also doesn't have star constellations like other gates because as it travels to different galaxies, stars will be completely different. The marking will correspond to star constellations depending on where it is.
j4mtr1x 2 years ago 2
If the gate was more like a Pegasus style gate then they wouldnt need these special markings as the gate could just "update" or something and get a totally new set of constellations for the gate since pegasus gates are essentially "digital" where as Milkyway gates and this gate seem to be more "analog" due to the fact that there isnt any way for the constellations to change regardless if they actually would change (who knows) due to the design of the inner track / watever on Destiny's gate...

hulaspeed5555 2 years ago
You know, the gate spinning makes no sense, on Sg-1 the gate spun because the SGC didnt have a proper DHD, so it spun like it was being dialed manually because of their man made DHD. The gate on Atlantis appeared to spin, but it was just the symbols being spun that gave it that effect. If you pay attention to this gate on Destiny, the chevrons are spinning along with the symbols or numbers so it doesnt make sense for it to spin at all, especially since the ship would have its own DHD.
gatejumper 2 years ago 2
Actually, the spinning is common to ALL gates! The stargates in the Milky Way all spun to dial an address. It cost about $5,000 everytime they used the gate on the show, so some special effects were cut out. But as far as the show itself goes, they all spin to dial the address.
Shadows42 2 years ago
The only difference I've ever seen is with Orlins gate which only went one place and the Tholin made gate that was never fully shown at all. Also, sometimes the earth and off world gates spin on a remote dial-in and sometimes they don't. Again this was controlled by budget. It eventually became standard to have an incoming wormhole not spin and an outgoing one to spin.
Shadows42 2 years ago
Now, as far as how THIS gate spins: this is the OLDEST form of stargate. Those in Atlantis is the newest form. The Milky Way is Mark II for a lack of better term. It is only natural that the design be refined significantly.
Also, the Tholin\nox made gate seemed larger but in the epi. O'Neill said it looked smaller. lol.
Shadows42 2 years ago
If the Original Stargate we know and love is Mark ll, and this one is Mark l, shouldn't in the "Ark of Truth" movie, the ancients pre-stargate notes of the stargate have a diagram of THIS stargate instead of the Orange one?
CheeZMan8 2 years ago
Not in our galaxy. Those notes were for our galaxy.
Or maybe it was because no one knew this show would be made at the time... yeah. Maybe that's it. But it is firmly established in SU that these were first and that the ship was used to seed them.

gotta love the rotary phone style dialing
airecrist 2 years ago
as we know milkyway gates and pegasus gates use 7 dialing codes to connect to other gates in their respective galaxies and when dialing between the two 8 codes are used 6 for the 3d point in space the 7th for point of origin and 8th for point of galaxy reprtedly i read somewhere that this "new" gate uses a 9th code which may allow it track the other gate on the destiny ship in real time or as others have said auto tune
EddGe87 2 years ago
that was hard to read:O
Theryolinator 2 years ago
If the gate on the Destiny Auto aligns in the gate system, it should technically still never work, because you can't dial a moving gate, that was a key problem in haveing the gates aboard the goul,d mother ships, they had to exit sub space and stop, to align and dial it. There for this gate must be more advanced then the Milky way and Pegasus Gates
etika88 2 years ago
If you watch the first 5 mins when they are dialing the gate in the milky way, that fat kid says it's some sort of code, not a 3D address like conventional gates. Might work in a similar way. Suppose we'll have to watch and see!!!
kevinthesmith 2 years ago
I think that the way it works is this:
7 chevron address: gate in current galaxy
8 chevron address: gate in another galaxy
9 chevron address: "definite" dial mode
Think of it like this. Instead of using coordinates like 7 and 8, a 9 chevron address works like a cell phone number. You call the same number and no matter where the person is, it reaches them.
Chrisk122990 2 years ago
You raise a fair point, So you are basically saying this gate has a Roaming feature?, does that mean the only reason they can't dial earth is because of the DHD application or the power requirements?
etika88 2 years ago
I'm going to say it's a little of both. After all, in the Pegasus galaxy the only DHD capable of dialing more than 7 chevrons is the one in Atlantis. Also, if they're on the other side of the universe in a damaged ship, it's possible that it can't provide the power to get back.
Chrisk122990 2 years ago
lol starting to sound like a cellphone plan
airecrist 2 years ago
I don't think they'll waste the 9th chevron for something unimportant as what you said.
idan111 2 years ago
actually its more like coordinates, if a gate/planet w/gate has moved they need to adjust the address for its new location the DHD does this for them but in order for earths gate to do it they had to create a program to compensate (since earth had to make shift a DHD)
airecrist 2 years ago
I thought destiny was build at the height of the ancient civiliation maybe along the same time as Atlantis but maybe a bit after that because we know not all the ancients left with Atlantis this would be a new feature but the puddle jumper auto align themselves with the gate network so why shouldn't the gates do that aswell because the tech of destiny looks similar to Atlantis if not a little more advanced
Striker5551 2 years ago
Idan111 is wrong the Antarctic gate was one of the oldest in the milky way system not one of the oldest gates it would make sense that the destiny would have a more advanced gate that the milky way but less advanced that Atlantis the destiny gate looks more like a step between the two having some of the features of the Atlantis gate like no movable inner ring and some of the features of the milky way gate but looks more advanced than the milky way gates
Striker5551 2 years ago
You could be right because it is Way advanced than the milkeyway and the Pegasus gate because it tunes it self into a destination where ever it is unlike the Milkeyway and Pegasus gate that have to be done manualy.
Also the reason the ship is called "The Destiny" is because it has a self timer that is exploring the universe.
StargateFan4 2 years ago
@Striker5551 : actually the sgu stargate design is the oldest. They even say it in the pilot or in the second episode that the destiny's gate is like a prototype. In fact while Milky Way and Pegasus Stargates are capable of dialing every stargate in their galaxy, sgu stargates can only dial the neighbouring stargates and the Destiny can reach a stargate only when it's in range (which is of course a giant limitation).
pieddu 1 year ago
@pieddu actually it may not be the oldest there could have been a prototype where it was just from 1 gate to another before they relised the could make it dial multiple gates like a phone, Bit like the tin can and some string.
StargateFan4 1 year ago
@StargateFan4 they likely would have been two when the ancients started they probably would have experimented with two gates in two systems then eventually it would have led to the mass seeding of the universe
ahdeath2007 1 year ago
@pieddu Well the reason it can only dial to gates near it is becuase of the fact that it has a limited power supply. In a episode resontly (The awakening) they could have dialed earth if they combined the power supply from destiny and one of the seed ships. If they can gate that far away with two ships then maybe they can gate to gates farther away. Posibly it is even that they just have that buffer their to sort of put the ship in a safe mode not to waste all the power in one connection.

Perhaps it's not older or newer at all. It could have even been built as Destiny's own unique gate for all we know, unless the producers have said otherwise in which case I'm aware.

Cubanz1224 2 years ago
the gate in "universe" is the very first version of the gate. the most 'primitive' one.
that's why there is just one ring instead of two, which is why the entire gate needs to spin. the ancients later improved the design for the milky way gates by having two rings and only the inner one had to spin and the entire gate didn't have to.
and they only had to spin in manual dials when there's no DHD.
the most advanced design was in pegasus where the gate was entirely digital with no moving parts
BorgHub 2 years ago
Actually we don't officialy know if it was the VERY first gate yet it could be 2nd. Don't forget about secret ancient labs where there could have been prototypes that had worked!
StargateFan4 2 years ago
there is absolutely no reason to assume that the universe gate is an earlier model. In fact, there can even be reasons against it
The Destiny is said to have been built at the height of the Ancients civilization by the producers.
It was part of a grand experiment to seed the galaxies with gates. The first ship was sent and the Destiny was sent after to explore these galaxies. We have no idea how much later Destiny was sent, so why would we assume it has an earlier model of a stargate?
err4tic 2 years ago
@BorgHub
They did say that the Destiny Gate is the oldest version.This makes absolutely no sense because the show stated that Destiny is only a couple hundred thousand years old. According to SGA Atlantis left Earth millions of years ago and Atlantis without question is more advanced,also the chair in Atlantis and the one left on Earth were also millions of years old, so why is the chair and Gate on a much more recently built ship less advanced?They have gotten their own timelines screwed up.
RCTPatriot75 1 year ago
@RCTPatriot75 it is the oldest, I don't remember who said it, but the closer you get to the speed of light the slower the aging process is. In the case of the Destiny, the Ancients managed to surpass light speed, as a result the ship does most of its aging while it is out of FTL. Hence why the ship appears to be a couple of hundred thousand years old, vs a couple of million years. Hope I cleared some things up. But don't take my word for it.

a stargate is made up of 2 rings a inner and a outer the inner ring is the one with the symbols it is supose to spin the outer ring has the chevrons and it stays still but the chevrons do move as they lock this is an inaccurate video i hope they fix it in editing

Could be a new ring. In Star Gate Atlantis you saw the "original gate" (in terms of story, not show) and since you new the Goa'uld stole technology, they made it more "Egyptian" than the original gate (story plot once again). We might see a even newer gate now, who knows. XD

Am I the only person who compares dialling a stargate with dialling a phone? We've moved on from the old 'rotary dial' phones years ago to push buttons!
The Pegasus gates were about the closest to 'modern' technology there is. Push button DHD and the gate remains static and the 'digital 'symbols' move. Why is this WHOLE gate spinning?
cbmemphis 2 years ago
Because this Stargate is older than the Milkyway gates. The entire Destiny ship is the Stargate itself, what you're seeing there is just the dialling ring.

At least now we don't have that embarrassing and shonky 'gate-shake' when the prop comes to a stop and the chevron locks. Way back when SG-1 first started and I saw that cheap prop shudder, I thought Roland Emmerich might have had a point. And they barely got it right thru the whole series. This time, it looks SOLID...

Makes sense from the point of view of technological regression
Mk 3 Pegasus gates: No rotation
Mk 2 Milky Way / Ida gates: Partial rotation
Mk 1 Prototype gates: Full rotation
Kinda reminds me of the original concept for the dialling process of Mk 2 gates as found in the novelization of the original movie - wherein the inner & outer tracks would both counter-rotate while the gate was dialling
Can't help but wonder how it'd work in 0g, with no absolute 'up' though. No orbital gates I s'pose...
