Thus, each gate in the pair takes on a specific role: the dialing gate converts the traveler into its most basic components (sub-atomic particles) and transmits it, while the receiving gate reassembles the transmitted matter back into its original form.
This is not a limitation of the wormhole, but of the technology wormholes will transmit anything that enters them, but no solid matter could survive the process. Travel through a Stargate is strictly one-way: from the dialing gate to the receiving gate. Beyond this point, massive amounts of power are needed to sustain a wormhole, which ordinary sources cannot provide. The Stargate will remain open so long as matter or energy continues to pass through it, to a maximum of 38 minutes. Travelers enter through the event horizon, which dematerializes them for transport through the wormhole, to be reassembled on the other side. The vortex settles into the event horizon, nicknamed the puddle for its liquid appearance. Technologies such as the iris on Earth's Stargate can achieve this. This event will destroy any matter it comes into contact with however, if the event horizon is blocked to within a few microns, the vortex will be suppressed. This is due to the large amount of energy needed to form a stable wormhole, while keeping one open is much less power-intensive. When activated, a Stargate produces a violent burst of energy known as an unstable vortex or "kawoosh". The Stargate creates a stable, artificial wormhole between itself and another Stargate, allowing near-instantaneous travel from the dialing gate to the destination gate, but not vice versa. Technical specifications " Kind of a ring thing, comes with a dialer, you hit the symbols, it spins around and lights come on, it kind of flushes sideways." - Jack O'NeillĪmelius' original plans for the first Stargate. ( SG1: " The First Commandment", " Demons", " Memento") In many cases the references to gods or evil in the names come from the Goa'uld, or in the Pegasus galaxy, legends of the Ancients or their present use by the Wraith. The Wraith call it the Portal.Īlthough Stargates are present on many planets, most of the races which use them are relatively primitive, and view the technology as divine in nature, as evidenced by such names as "Ring of the Gods" and "Circle of Darkness". They are also commonly referred to as as simply "the ring" or "the gate". In the Pegasus galaxy, villagers know them as Rings of the Ancestors and variations thereof. The K'Tau call their Stargate "the annulus". The English word "Stargate" is a calque of the Goa'uld word "Chappa'ai", courtesy of a direct translation by Daniel Jackson, and "Chappa'ai" is itself a calque of "Astria Porta". In turn, most races developed their own names for the Stargates. Some races, such as the Goa'uld, grew their ways of life around the gates, which became integral to the functioning of their culture. They have long since reached Ascension, but the network remains accessible to any with the knowledge of how it works, and continues to be a convenient form of travel for many races. The Ancients placed Stargates on thousands of worlds across several galaxies. The second-generation, Milky Way-style Stargate on Earth. Names " If that's what you want to call, Ring of the Gods is good." - Jack O'Neill 8.4 McKay-Carter Intergalactic Gate Bridge.They are among the oldest examples of Ancient technology found in the Milky Way galaxy the Stargate found in Antarctica on Earth has been estimated to be over 50 million years old, while the Stargates used in the " Destiny mission" are even older. It is unknown if he actually built the first of the Stargate Network. The original Stargate design was invented by an Alteran named Amelius, from an idea he formulated the night before the Alterans left their home galaxy for the Milky Way. The Ancients, the Asurans, the Tollan, and the Ori are the only known races that have managed to build Stargates. The Stargates are often considered to be the Ancients' greatest creation, and so the Ancients are often called the Gate Builders.

The Stargates, also called the Astria Porta in Ancient and the Chappa'ai in Goa'uld, are a series of devices, built by the Ancients, that create artificial subspace wormholes, allowing for near-instantaneous transportation between two distant points in space. " That is how we're supposed to travel light years across the galaxy to other planets." - Cameron Mitchell
