Stargate (franchise)
''Stargate'' (often stylized in all caps) is a military science fiction media franchise based on the film directed by Roland Emmerich, which he co-wrote with producer Dean Devlin. The franchise is based on the idea of an alien Einstein–Rosen bridge device (the Stargate) that enables nearly instantaneous travel across the cosmos. The franchise began with the film ''Stargate'', released on October 28, 1994, by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Carolco, which grossed US$197million worldwide. In 1997, Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner created a television series titled '' Stargate SG-1'' as a sequel to the film. This show was joined by '' Stargate Atlantis'' in 2004, '' Stargate Universe'' in 2009, and a prequel web series, ''Stargate Origins'', in 2018.

Einstein–Rosen Bridge
A wormhole (Einstein-Rosen bridge) is a hypothetical structure connecting disparate points in spacetime, and is based on a special solution of the Einstein field equations. A wormhole can be visualized as a tunnel with two ends at separate points in spacetime (i.e., different locations, different points in time, or both). Wormholes are consistent with the general theory of relativity, but whether wormholes actually exist remains to be seen. Many scientists postulate that wormholes are merely projections of a fourth spatial dimension, analogous to how a two-dimensional (2D) being could experience only part of a three-dimensional (3D) object. Theoretically, a wormhole might connect extremely long distances such as a billion light years, or short distances such as a few meters, or different points in time, or even different universes. In 1995, Matt Visser suggested there may be many wormholes in the universe if cosmic strings with negative mass were generated in the early un ...

Present Day
The present (or here'' and ''now) is the time that is associated with the events perceived directly and in the first time, not as a recollection (perceived more than once) or a speculation (predicted, hypothesis, uncertain). It is a period of time between the past and the future, and can vary in meaning from being an instant to a day or longer. It is sometimes represented as a hyperplane in space-time, typically called "now", although modern physics demonstrates that such a hyperplane cannot be defined uniquely for observers in relative motion. The present may also be viewed as a duration (see ''specious present'').James, W. (1893)The principles of psychology New York: H. Holt and Company. Page 609.

''Stargate'' fandom is a community of people actively interested in the military science fiction film ''Stargate'' and its television shows including ''Stargate SG-1'' (SG1), ''Stargate Infinity'' (SGI), ''Stargate Atlantis'' (SGA), ''Stargate Universe'' (SGU) and their spin offs. The first franchise release, ''Stargate'' (1994) spawned four television series successors, four movies (two in production), a plethora of merchandise, and a massive franchise collectively known as the ''Stargate'' (owned by Metro–Goldwyn–Mayer and aired by Syfy, which now owns television properties they previously held with Carolco Pictures). Thanks to ''Stargate'' fandom, the franchise has spawned other media including books, television series, video games, comic books and audiobooks. These supplements to the film and series trilogies comprise another universe than the series and the film, and have resulted in significant development of the series' fictional universe. These media kept the franchise ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
