Not too long ago, the Discover Magazine website’s blog “Science Not Fiction” explored the science of the Stargate Atlantis episode “The Seed” in an article entitled Stargate Atlantis Gets Biomechanical. Now, the science magazine is concentrating on the newly-released DTV movie Stargate: Continuum, hoping, perhaps, to explain the concepts of Time Travel in Time Travel Stargate Style and the Grandfather Paradox in Simulating The Grandfather Paradox. If these concepts give you a headache, don’t go there, but if you’re interested in finding out if the science of the movie was sound, then these articles might give you a great starting point!
Discover might publish more articles about the science of Stargate since they have tagged their blog for easy article retrieval: Stargate Continuum tag and Stargate Atlantis tag.
Stargate: Continuum‘s DVD/Blu-ray release dates (if you know of other dates, please let us know and we’ll add them to the list):
- July 29, 2008: North America

- October 27, 2008: Czech and Slovak Republic
Hey, thanks for the mention — I’ve gone back and fixed that Stargate Atlantis tag! (I’ve also added you to the Science Not Fiction blogroll). I do expect to post more articles about the science in the Stargate franchise — the producers do a great job with the continuity as well as keeping the plot lines firmly based in science fiction, instead of straying into magic territory.
Thanks! That’s great to hear! I’m looking forward to more science behind the Stargate fiction!
I’ll edit the story to remove that tag issue. 🙂
