xXx Failure xXx: jackalo: xXx Failure xXx: I understand science, and I would have to say almost all coined science in science-fiction BS like stargate is ALWAYS unloyal to real-term science: Furthermore, the science made for the specfic show almsot always contradicts itself: Same with Stargate: It 'yaps(im asuming this means leeches)' energy from an artificially created region of subspace: Firstly, dimensions cannot exist in dimensions, and subspace implies an existence of one particular reality within another, which is BS, and a simple degree in Physics tell you this is impossible: then you call the region of subspace(assuming that such a thing exists, which it couldn't)artifical, so it was made, to extract energy from: This is illogical: Did you make a region of space which took a specific reserve of energy to as a store or did you just waste a sh*t load of electricity to open up an area of space just to extract energy from it, or does this area of space actually create it's own energy? Eh? Seeing the bullsh*t of stargate now?
Further more, black-holes are unobserval phenomen: It is conventially impossible to create a black-hole, it simply isn't possible.
Back to the ZPM thing, zero-point energy in reality is simply a pet-name for a bose-einstein condensate in string theory: you couldn't hold such a thing in a simple module.
If M-theory is correct (which is becoming increasingly more likely it is) then black-holes could be created with sufficiently advanced technology also bose-einstein condensate is not zero-point energy, zero point energy is the energy generated by particles that exist in vacuums.
But you are right about most science in sci-fi things being bollocks, zero point energy is infinite everywhere but to "small" (in simple terms) to be used to power anything and would be even smaller in other dimensions.
Though to complain about sci-fi science being bollocks is a bit stupid since it would be pretty expensive to hire scientists to research things just to make a tv show.
A bose-einstein condensate is what accounts for substantial concentrations of zero-point energy(according to M-Theory), and zero-point energy itself is generated by a sub-quartient particles exited by a 3rd party source of energy, or so string theory states, further-more, M-theory suggests that black-holes are impossible to create(To create a black-whole is to either, using the conventional route, would be to pose a massive ammount of matter against itself, generating it's own gravity-well which would engulf itself to the point of black-whole: The more conveniant route would be to collapse a strand of apporpriate string on itself):
M-theory itself is not being glofified ever more: It's just waiting for that last peice of demeaning evidence to knock it from it's perch like so many former theories.
Also, the least they(I mean stupid soap-operas and star-trek style BS)could do is grow some balls and not contradict themselves in-terms of their own science: Even a small kid with some sense could identify BS in made-up science by simply looking at it.
uh bad grammar
BTW its called science FICTION for a reason...stupid fucktard.
