[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] There might be a practical limit on the size/length of the object passing through the event horizon. If it's enough to potentially overload the molecular buffer, the gate may default and send it through anyway. WRT Teal'c harpoon, we also know that objects entering the gate exit it at about the same velocity, as long as both gates are working properly (remember early episodes when they would tumble out of the gate - it's 'cuz they hadn't gotten everything working on the Earth side yet). So IF the harpoon was in limbo before someone tossed the rope in after Teal'c supposedly took a run at the gate, passed through, and grabbed hold before sinking backwards through the EH, the harpoon could have exited shortly before he did, embedded itself, and then he came through. Then there was the time they all got stuck on the prison world Hadante... The gate would periodically open and a stream of porridge would shoot through into a trough to feed the prisoners. I wonder how that worked - liquid matter isn't like a space ship passing through, but would the stream qualify as a discrete object? Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
