Do you wish you had a transporter like in Star Trek? What would you do with it?

@Haniazed That’s because mine has board games and LEGO’s 😁

@HeavenBesideYou Twister is a board game isn’t it...?😉

@Haniazed Yep. 😉

@DunningKruger Oh? I only watched the movie (which I loved) and one-and-a-bit seasons of the TV series (which I didn't) of Stargate but I always assumed that was a wormhole job.

Was it explicitly stated otherwise at some point?

@TheThinker Yes. Even in the original movie, they make clear that the stargate reduces you to your component parts and zips them over to the target stargate.

@DunningKruger Hah, ok, I guess I wasn't paying attention then.

That's just stupid though, especially given it's a circular portal and the space-warping implied by the watery-ripple effect.

Having said that, I suppose there is that "breaking up into streaky dots" effect as they poked their faces through, but I thought that was just some kind of artistic licence "speed lines" type thing, and after all, the "zipping past stars and galaxies along a tube" effect implies both staying conscious throughout the transition and that it's travel along a wormhole.

Also, that begs the question, if it isn't using a wormhole to transmit the data, what faster-than-light method IS it using?

It's almost as if those doing the SFX thought it WAS a wormhole!

Silly scriptwriter...

@MasterDvdC Brilliant! Lets start working on it today. 😂

@Riverman I got the idea from the Ferengi. They have the right idea. Keep all women naked.

😂👍️

@TheThinker excellent

@rjc36 indeed.

@SW-User that would be perfect.

@chuck7882 nice
