' Wrote:How does Texas incident prove that blowing a jumgate is will not lead to catastrophe?
I fail to see the implication.
Quote:Valhalla Research scientists aboard the Dallas had begun the second phase of testing a new, long-range jump gate that would have allowed travel beyond the confines of the Sirius Sector -- and could have potentially opened the entire galaxy for exploration. Unfortunately, an unforeseen concentration of dark matter along the jump route created a feedback wave that not only destroyed the Dallas and everyone aboard, but expelled huge masses of dark matter and radioactivity.
In other words, to repeat the results of Dallas experiment, you have to open a hyperspace corridor through an anti-matter cloud of some unknown concentration, resonate with it, make it (anti-matter cloud) create a feedback wave, and that wave will give you what you want.
It has absolutely nothing to do with blowing up even active jump gates with open hyperspace tunnel, not talking about closed ones.
