Time travel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Time travel is the concept of moving between different points in time in a manner analogous to moving between different points in space. Time travel could hypothetically involve moving backward in time to a moment earlier than the starting point, or forward to the future of that point without the need for the traveler to experience the intervening period (at least not at the normal rate). Any technological device – whether fictional or hypothetical – that would be used to achieve time travel is commonly known as a time machine.

STARGATE WIKI


Transcript:Rising


WEIR
I'm talking about Major Sheppard.

O'NEILL
Oh. Don't you have a dozen or so people already who can use the Ancient technology?

WEIR
Yes, with concentration and training, they can make it work, but John Sheppard, he does it naturally.

[They pause by the elevator.]

O'NEILL
You know, I've checked into his record.

WEIR
I know about the whole supposed black mark in Afghanistan. He was trying to save the lives of three servicemen.

O'NEILL
Disobeying a direct order in the process.

WEIR
(ironically)
I have read your own file, General. Please.

O'NEILL
Right.
(sighing)
Okay, it's your expedition. You want him, you ask him.

WEIR
Uh, that's the thing. I have.

O'NEILL
(surprised)
Really?

INT—HELICOPTER

[Sheppard prepares for departure. O'Neill sits next to him.]

O'NEILL
This isn't a long trip, so I'll be as succinct as possible.

[He glares at Sheppard for several moments.]

SHEPPARD
Well, that's pretty succinct.

O'NEILL
Thank you.

SHEPPARD
I told Dr. Weir that, you know, I'd think about it.

O'NEILL
And? So? Well? What?

SHEPPARD
With all due respect, sir, we were just attacked by an alien missile. And then I found out I have some mutant gene. Then there's this "Stargate thing" and these expeditions to other galaxies.

O'NEILL
You know, this isn't about you, Sheppard. It's a lot bigger than that.

SHEPPARD
Right now, at this very second, whether I decide to go on this mission or not seems to be about me.

[He starts up the rotors and fixes his helmet.]

O'NEILL
Let me ask you something.

[He realizes Sheppard can no longer hear him and snags his own headset.]

O'NEILL
(into headset)
Why'd you become a pilot?

SHEPPARD
I think people who don't want to fly are crazy.

O'NEILL
And I think people who don't want to go through the Stargate are equally as whacked. Now, if you can't give me a yes by the time we reach McMurdo, I don't even want you.

[Sheppard stares at O'Neill in shock.]

EXT—ANTARCTICA

[The helicopter flies across the sky.]

INT—SIMON'S LIVING ROOM

[Simon sits on a sofa and starts watching a video of Weir.]

WEIR
(over video)
Simon, if you're watching this, it means the President has been kind enough to grant you security clearance. I'm not going on a diplomatic mission to another country. I'm going to another planet in another galaxy by means of a device called a Stargate.

BEGIN EXCERPTS

WEIR
(continuing video in voiceover)
Millions of years ago, there was a race of beings we call the Ancients. They created a network of these Stargates throughout our galaxy in order to travel freely among their worlds. We don't know why, but they left for another galaxy somewhere between five and ten million years ago, taking their entire city along with them. That city was called Atlantis. I have been assembling an expedition team in order to try to find Atlantis and hopefully, the Ancients who left Earth all those years ago.

[While Weir speaks other scenes appear showing expedition members preparing to leave. Ford kisses his grandparents goodbye before getting into a taxi. Beckett sits down to a home-cooked meal in his mother's kitchen, his mother doting on him. McKay leaves his cat with a neighbor, complete with a supply of food. Sheppard sits on a hillside in a park near a coastline, flipping a coin indecisively.]

END EXCERPTS

WEIR
(continuing on video)
I want to do this, Simon with all my heart. You know me well enough to know I could never turn down an opportunity like this, but I wanted the chance to tell you—

[Simon pauses the video and moves over to the phone. He dials a number.]

OPERATOR
(over telephone)
The cellular customer you are trying to reach is currently outside the coverage area.

[Simon hangs up.]

SIMON
No kidding.
