STARGATE UNIVERSE

AIR, PART 2

EPISODE NUMBER - 102

ORIGINAL U.S. AIR DATE - 10.02.09


RUSH: We barely have enough power to operate the main systems! This ship simply doesn't have the capability to dial Earth.

YOUNG: You see, that's news to me.

WALLACE: He didn't tell me that either.

RUSH: Well, I've only just learned myself ... (he turns to Eli) ... and you know what I've been doing.

YOUNG: Even if it doesn't work, the people aboard this ship need to see us at least try.

RUSH: So, what? You're going to drain what little power we have for the sake of morale? How ridiculous.

(Behind him, the Stargate stops spinning and its illuminated chevrons go out. Then a shimmer briefly envelops everyone, like it did not long after they arrived on the ship. As it dissipates, the engines sound as if they're starting to power down.)

SCOTT: What was that?

(Above the doorway, a small display lights up and starts scrolling something in the Ancient language. Nobody notices because they have other things on their minds. The Stargate starts to spin again.)

YOUNG (into radio): Anyone near the observation deck?

(Johansen happens to be nearby and trots into the room where Chloe and Scott had their heart to heart earlier. Chloe is standing at a railing by the window, gazing out at the new view. Destiny is no longer enveloped by the misty veil that covers it when it's flying faster than light. Johansen goes over to join Chloe and stares at the sight of distant galaxies and stars for a moment, then activates her radio.)

JOHANSEN: Colonel, it looks like we've dropped out of F.T.L.

RILEY: Because we were draining power?

RUSH: No, no. If I'm right, the Gate should begin to dial any moment.

(Obligingly, the Gate lights up and starts to spin again. As its first chevron locks, Scott turns to Rush.)

SCOTT: How did you know that?

RUSH: The ship detected a Stargate on a planet within range that may have what we need.

YOUNG: What? Why the hell are there even Stargates out here?

RUSH: The Ancients sent out a number of unmanned ships ahead of this one. They're programmed to gather data, resources, then manufacture Stargates and deposit them on habitable worlds. Any relevant information is relayed back here to help plot the course.

YOUNG: You're telling me that the ship knows we're in trouble?

RUSH: Yes. Because I told it we were.

Aluminium

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aluminium (or aluminum; see spelling differences) is a chemical element in the boron group with symbol Al and atomic number 13. It is a silvery-white, soft, nonmagnetic, ductile metal. Aluminium is the third most abundant element (after oxygen and silicon), and the most abundant metal in the Earth's crust. It makes up about 8% by weight of the Earth's solid surface. Aluminium metal is so chemically reactive that native specimens are rare and limited to extreme reducing environments. Instead, it is found combined in over 270 different minerals. The chief ore of aluminium is bauxite.

Aluminium is remarkable for the metal's low density and for its ability to resist corrosion due to the phenomenon of passivation. Structural components made from aluminium and its alloys are vital to the aerospace industry and are important in other areas of transportation and structural materials.


History

Ancient Greeks and Romans used aluminium salts as dyeing mordants and as astringents for dressing wounds; alum is still used as a styptic. In 1761, Guyton de Morveau suggested calling the base alum alumine. In 1808, Humphry Davy identified the existence of a metal base of alum, which he at first termed alumium and later aluminum (see etymology section, below).

The metal was first produced in 1825 in an impure form by Danish physicist and chemist Hans Christian Ørsted. He reacted anhydrous aluminium chloride with potassium amalgam, yielding a lump of metal looking similar to tin. Friedrich Wöhler was aware of these experiments and cited them, but after redoing the experiments of Ørsted he concluded that this metal was pure potassium. He conducted a similar experiment in 1827 by mixing anhydrous aluminium chloride with potassium and yielded aluminium. Wöhler is generally credited with isolating aluminium (Latin alumen, alum). Further, Pierre Berthier discovered aluminium in bauxite ore. Henri Etienne Sainte-Claire Deville improved Wöhler's method in 1846. As described in his 1859 book, aluminium trichloride could be reduced by sodium, which was more convenient and less expensive than potassium used by Wöhler. In the mid-1880s, aluminium metal was exceedingly difficult to produce, which made pure aluminium more valuable than gold. So celebrated was the metal that bars of aluminium were exhibited at the Exposition Universelle of 1855. Napoleon III of France is reputed to held a banquet where the most honored guests were given aluminium utensils, while the others made do with gold.

Aluminium was selected as the material to use for the 100 ounces (2.8 kg) capstone of the Washington Monument in 1884, a time when one ounce (30 grams) cost the daily wage of a common worker on the project (in 1884 about $1 for 10 hours of labor; today, a construction worker in the US working on such a project might earn $25–$35 per hour and therefore around $300 in an equivalent single 10-hour day). The capstone, which was set in place on 6 December 1884 in an elaborate dedication ceremony, was the largest single piece of aluminium cast at the time.


Effect on plants

Aluminium is primary among the factors that reduce plant growth on acid soils. Although it is generally harmless to plant growth in pH-neutral soils, the concentration in acid soils of toxic Al3+ cations increases and disturbs root growth and function.

Most acid soils are saturated with aluminium rather than hydrogen ions. The acidity of the soil is therefore a result of hydrolysis of aluminium compounds. This concept of "corrected lime potential" to define the degree of base saturation in soils became the basis for procedures now used in soil testing laboratories to determine the "lime requirement" of soils.

AIR, PART 2

EPISODE NUMBER - 102

ORIGINAL U.S. AIR DATE - 10.02.09


YOUNG: You're telling me that the ship knows we're in trouble?

RUSH: Yes. Because I told it we were. Essentially we're flying on autopilot. This ship may have stopped when it was within range of a Stargate regardless of our need, but I have reason to believe ...

(He turns to face the Gate just as it kawhooshes.)

YOUNG: So, what we need is on the other side of that wormhole.

RUSH: An educated guess? Yes.

YOUNG: There's one way to find out.

(He starts to limp towards the Gate.)

RILEY: Sir, you can't do that. We have no idea what's on the other side.

WALLACE: We can use the Kino to find out.

RUSH: I expect that's the purpose of this device.










https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_(material)


Lime (material)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lime is a calcium-containing inorganic material in which carbonates, oxides and hydroxides predominate. Strictly speaking, lime is calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide. It is also the name of the natural mineral (native lime) CaO which occurs as a product of coal seam fires and in altered limestone xenoliths in volcanic ejecta. The word "lime" originates with its earliest use as building mortar and has the sense of "sticking or adhering."


The rocks and minerals from which these materials are derived, typically limestone or chalk, are composed primarily of calcium carbonate. They may be cut, crushed or pulverized and chemically altered.

RUSH: Looks like our time might be limited.

YOUNG: What is it?

RUSH: It's a countdown. Just over twelve hours left.

YOUNG: What happens then?

RUSH: I suspect we jump back into F.T.L.

SCOTT: It doesn't take any special skills to die from asphyxiation!

RUSH: Look, what I'm saying is, it shouldn't be someone with potentially valuable knowledge, or abilities we might need to help us survive beyond this.

(Eli turns and throws a wide-eyed look at the Kino.)

ARMSTRONG: What, are you really suggesting what I think?

SCOTT (to Rush): A lot of people on this ship already wanna kill you.

RUSH: I don't care.

(Nearby, Franklin and Curtis are looking at Franklin's hand-held Ancient device.)

FRANKLIN: I don't know. I think that ...

(He pushes something and the device beeps. Eli trots over to them.)

WALLACE: Hey, guys. Another negative over here. I'll radio Scott and tell them we're moving on.

FRANKLIN: Uh, yeah, the ... That's not what's going down.

WALLACE: It's not?

FRANKLIN: No. (He holds up the device.) There are four other viable addresses in this thing. I think I found an override that'll allow us to dial from here ...

WALLACE: Yeah, but ...

CURTIS: Look around! This planet is a dead zone!

WALLACE: But ...

FRANKLIN: We should have been trying to dial these other planets from the start.

WALLACE: But Rush said ...

CURTIS: We don't care what Rush said!

FRANKLIN: We don't trust him.

WALLACE (pointedly): Rush doesn't want us all to die!

PALMER: That doesn't mean we trust him to make the right decisions.

(Eli turns back to her.)

WALLACE: You too?! What about the lake bed?

PALMER: It could be hundreds of miles from here. We could be blowing our only chance of finding a decent place to evac.

FRANKLIN: Maybe the ship did bring us here because there's lime on this planet. For all we know, the Ancients had a way of locating it that we don't.

CURTIS: For that matter, I'm sure they could have stopped the ship for longer than twelve hours to find it, and recover it with the proper tools.

FRANKLIN: The fact is, the Ancients wouldn't have let the life support system get that screwed up in the first place. Rush is set on fixing the ship. He's deaf to any other logic. We need to find a planet we can survive on. (He waves the Ancient device.) This might be our last chance.
