Interesting little animation at the source ... but how exactly did they rebuild that sequence of events from what is essentially a snapshot in the process? A galactic collision would take a couple of million years or more in order to be completed.

My math professor was fond of saying "Everyday we live in a world of bi-polar, non-Ecludian geometry, but only a few realize it." He would never provide an explanation but did say that I would be wiser when I figured out what he ment.
It took me a long time to understand.

I can't see a damned thing.
It's too dark!

Does this mean Col. Jack O'Neill (my dream lover) comes out of retirement and returns to Stargate SGC?

Math is a figment of your imagination. No. Math is a figment of God's imagination and we have discovered part of it.

I guess I don't have a prayer of realizing it, since I don't even know what that means in any practical sense.

"...when you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely in your thoughts advanced to the state of science, whatever the matter may be."

Are you serious? Stargate has been cancelled? Good God, no!

The producers of SG-1 say they will be on the air, somewhere, they just don't know where yet. Hope they're right.

I hope so. I love the show. I've been a faithful viewer since the show debuted 10 years ago. Even though I dream of the character of Jack O'Neill, as a woman, I idolize the role of Col. Samantha Carter. If I were a little girl and I could point to someone I'd like to be when I grew up, it would definitely be Col Samantha Carter. And if I were to ever to fall in love and remarry, it would definitely be the character of Col. Jack O'Neill. Sigh!
