[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [qb] Or maybe Catherine learned something about the weirdos who showed up at her house one day in 1969 and really wanted Daniel to join the program. She always kind of seemed like she knew more than she was letting on. A stargate being placed in the location of another one happened on Earth and we saw what happened. The new gate and it's address assumed the position of the old one, but only because the old one's DHD was broken. When the old one was powered back up by the Russians, it cut off the Giza gate. Here's the problem: If the gate network tracks changes in gate location gradually over centuries in order to maintain an up-to-date location, moving a gate to another solar system in a couple of days should make it useless. No other gate could lock onto it to update it's location and that gate itself couldn't dial out. Our heros have made several references to moved gates broadcasting it's new location or something... but they never really said how it did that. [/qb][/QUOTE]I now vaguely recall there being a bit about how the DHDs would periodically synch up their positions and addresses. So there must be some kind of internal database/address book in the DHD that stores addresses and the correction vectors from the last synch upload. Which would explain why Earth was cut off from dialling out because the DHD was disconnected during the revolt. Of course it wouldn't explain why Ra couldn't just gate back through the Antarctica gate... [QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [qb] Funny thing about the symbols-as-syllables idea: they ruined that concept right from the beginning with the second address: "Terra Atlantus" is only five syllables. ;) [/qb][/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel Butler: [qb] Plus it's kind of contrived that the syllables happen to match up with what is obviously Ancient for "Atlantis Earth" or...something. [/qb][/QUOTE]Wasn't there a bit about how the language of the ancients (or one of them, at least) was the basis for Latin? Maybe through Merlin, a few millennia prior to setting up shop in Canterbury. As for the syllables, well every "letter" need not equal a syllable when pronounced as one word. Some may combine into single syllables when put next to one another. Like, for the sake of argument 'c' and 'h' becoming 'Ch'. [/QB][/QUOTE]
