Breastfeeding La Teta Old Man

12. Wormholes (III)

Stargate: Continuing the theme of wormholes ...

The episode 2.15 of Stargate, SG1 "A Matter of Time" begins with Sam explaining to Jack how it works exactly the Stargate and then gets a signal from another computer Stargate from another planet. This signal

earth will go very slowly. By sending a MALP (a probe) to verify that happens discover that the planet has fallen under the influence of a black hole very close. The COMPONENTS of the other team try to approach the stargate, but time slows down so that it is impossible for them and are destroyed by gravitational forces. Having opened the Stargate then we explain that the hole's gravitational field is affecting the military base where they are. On one side are the other team have problems but they did not know that they have suffered the effect of the black hole. The situation worsens with time. Finally

Sam has one of his ideas and. we know how it finished.

This is a link to create a time machine through a wormhole (the Stargate wormhole open traverse the galaxy from end to end in a few seconds.) In class we saw that there are two ways to offset a hole in time:

- By moving at relativistic speeds (with a ship)
- Approaching a black hole.

The latter is what we see in the episode. But the effect is transmitted through the wormhole and the time lag occurs in both doors (entrance of the wormhole), so that a priori is not feasible to use this method to create our time machine. Although they are rambling, since the time wormholes are only mathematical solutions to the teoriĆ­ of relativity we must take this possibility encuenta trying to create a time machine:).
