One of the enemies of SGI is the Ori, how does their black hole drive work?
Exactly the same as any sci-fic thing works. Magic.wolram said:One of the enemies of SGI is the Ori, how does their black hole drive work?
Oh. Right. Good point.Vanadium 50 said:Since it's a black hole, black magic.

Vanadium 50 said:More seriously, why is phind's "magic" a worse answer than "by reversing the polarity of the chronotron frazzleblaster"? And now I have a cheese I need to get to sickbay.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_starships_in_Stargate#Ori_starships use an intergalactic hyperdrive... but, the power source is of unknown design.wolram said:One of the enemies of SGI is the Ori, how does their black hole drive work?
Or, more correctly, an artificial quantum singularity... as in "Timescape"...[COLOR=#black].[/COLOR]russ_watters said:...but in the Star Trek universe, Romulan warbirds are powered by black holes.
As long as you've got gravitational shielding, you can leave the black hole and just let the gravitational attraction of one half of the universe pull you wherever you want to go, as in Robert Buettner's Orphanage.hsdrop said:Well if I had the tech to hold a black hole in side something with gravitational shielding, there are 2 ways that i can see it working..
The Ori black hole drive works by harnessing the immense gravitational energy of a black hole. The drive contains a miniature black hole that is artificially created and controlled. The gravity of the black hole is used to pull in surrounding matter, which is then converted into energy that powers the drive.
The Ori black hole drive uses a process called accretion to generate energy. This involves the capture and compression of matter by the black hole, which then releases energy in the form of radiation. This energy is harnessed and used to power the drive, allowing for faster-than-light travel.
The safety of the Ori black hole drive is still a topic of debate among scientists. While the technology has shown great potential for space travel, there are also concerns about the potential dangers of manipulating black holes. More research and testing is needed to fully understand the safety implications of this technology.
The Ori black hole drive utilizes the concept of space-time distortion to achieve faster-than-light travel. By manipulating the gravitational field of the miniature black hole, the drive creates a bubble of distorted space-time around the ship. This allows the ship to travel faster than the speed of light without violating the laws of physics.
Yes, the Ori black hole drive has the potential to revolutionize interstellar travel. With its ability to create a distortion in space-time, the drive can greatly reduce the travel time between distant points in the universe. However, more research and development is needed before this technology can be safely and effectively used for interstellar travel.
