Really makes me wonder what they did all that time thy didn't show in the episode.....

Oh let's see: food fights, roller blading in the corridors, street hockey in the Briefing Room, graffiti on the walls, paint Hammond's office bright, neon pink with purple trim, call the President and tell him he's a jerk, and the list goes on.
Cheers,

Coming to terms with a three month time loop.
Earth and a number of other planets were caught in that 10 hour time loop for three months, while the rest of the universe marched on. How does that affect those planets and their relationship within the universe? Does it affect them at all?

I don't know. I'm not that familiar with astonomy so I can't say if it did anything. Anyone got any speculations or facts even?

Cheers,

Not if the whole system that the planet was in was also affected. The episode gave me the impression that the effect covered a whole zone of space that included those planets that the stargate could contact. I realize that the first gate was connecting directly to these gates to use them in effecting the time loop but those gates could have been creating a boundry zone or bubble that the time loop would be occuring within. So as long as the sun that the planet was orbiting was also riding the loop there would be no unstability in orbits.

However it's not just the orbits of the affected worlds around their respective suns, but the effect it would have on the whole. If you subscribe to the 'Big Bang Theory' and everything is moving inexorably away from the center (and they are using this premise in the show), then what about the affect on those galaxies no affected. Granted that the movement is minute, but when you're talking vast distances doesn't even the smallest deviation from your original trajectory cause a massive miss when you reach your projected point?

As far as how the time displacement of the worlds affected might react with the rest of the universe..........time is not a constant in the real universe,in other words time doesnt move at the same "speed" everywhere in the universe (this is explained mathematically by Einstein in his theory of relativity and further expounded on by many quantum theories). For example,near you get to a black hole the slow time seems to move if compared to time on earth. What will blow your mind is the same variable in time has been observed right here on earth where two atomic clocks in different parts of the world that have been synchronized suddenly show a difference in time (we are only talking a measurement of less than a second but atomic clocks are so accurate that there should be no difference at all). Later,the clocks will once again line back up.
Basically....the fact that the earth is about three months off time from the Tok'ra world isn't a problem that will give the universe indigestion :)

FYI.....for a good book on time and space read A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME by Stephen Hawkings.

That bubble had to be huge. It obviously surrounded the the solar system but wasn't big enough to to reach another solar system. So in time, the symbol alignment will change 3 months sooner than it would have if the loop hand't occured.

It was huge. I just read the "script" for the ep posted at GateGuild and if their version is reasonably accurate then in the episode Carter actually states that a Bubble was created with PX-123-ABCD (whatever,I'm with Jack in trying to remember these 'names') at the center of the bubble.
