You know after re-watching Pacific Rim then re-reading this the music in that movie makes a great backdrop for the Taylor-Lung fight.

I admit that that is what goes through my mind first whenever I see that acronym, but no, sadly Stargate Command does not come with a built in wave motion gun. It probably should look into rectifying that particular oversight, given what they run into.
side note: despite the acronym being SGC, Stargate is a single word.

Actually, if you think about it, a Stargate presumably could be USED to create a single shot gravity cannon.

I wonder if a gate would survive in the center of a star...
*cough*
I mean, I wonder if Taylor can create a wormhole portal between the center of the sun and the surface of the earth by abusing super science?
That is definitely relevant.
I wonder if Doormaker could do it...?

Actually, SGC or Stargate Command, is the headquarters of the Stargate exploration teams, It's located in Cheyenne Mountain, and holds the only working Stargate on Earth.
The acronym for the team led by O'Neill is SG-1, not SGC. They don't command the whole project.
Though I agree that mounting a wave motion gun in front of the Stargate could have reduced some issues to less annoying ones. For most of them, though, the Iris is enough.
There is one small confusion about the way "Super Graviton Cannon" is usually referred to. There are no particles that can be considered Super Gravitons, so the proper name should be "Graviton Super Cannon", as in a massive gun that fires graviton-based projectiles or beams (whatever). Still, the popular name is Super Graviton Cannon even canonically, so trying to correct it is somewhat pedantic.
I mentally place brackets in the name and leave it this way: Super [Graviton Cannon], which defines it as a massive gun that fires graviton-based crap.

To be fair, the improper name sounds a lot cooler than the proper wording, so I can see why people go for it

Agreed on the cool part, and with the mental brackets placed the way I suggested, it's even correct.To be fair, the improper name sounds a lot cooler than the proper wording, so I can see why people go for it
Modifiers usually stick to the next word used, so it sounds like a "Super Graviton"-launching "Cannon". As there are no plain "graviton cannons", though, we have no other reference. But it actually is a "Super" "Graviton Cannon".
The canonical (and cool) name is not wrong, just misleading. I read a silly argument about gravitons versus supergravitons somewhere else. Simply put, there aren't supergravitons.

It's almost like the music is meant for clashes of titans. Hey!
Like FOG!Taylor and Lung tag-teaming Leviathan?
Because Dragon wearing armour made with Gattai'd World War 2 ships with a chest-mounted SGC and Corrosive Missile launcher as a wrist-mounted chaingun.

Thank you for linking that! I spent my workday reading it yesterday
It's very enjoyable, though I'm looking forward to something going right for the protagonist at some point
And yeah, the timescale for the first chapters should probably be extended by a few units- days to weeks, weeks to months, to allow things to feel more natural and give you more time for WAFF. But still fun!
It should have a place in your siiiiiiiig.
edit: Sorry, just caught up on the thread and realized you'd asked us to talk about this topic more.
Please more Fog!Taylor?

In any fight against an SGC, please remember that our current understanding of physics suggests that gravitons are omnidimensional in nature. In theory, every major fog capital ship is packing the tinkertech answer to Sting.

Except that Sting isn't omnidimensional, it's omniversal. Dimensions =\= universes. Definitely a distinction with a difference.

I know about cheese because of family in the cheese Holy Land, Wisconsin.Visited Cady Cheese Factory. It was cool.
On-topic, SGCs are even more dangerous than you'd think, because of the hell they'll wreak on local Space Time.

Yes, gravitons exist in the other universes. However, gravitons in one universe don't affect other universes.

Gravitons are theoretically closed strings and thus pass through branes easily, affecting others just as easily as our own. It would explain why gravity is a "weak" force, due to the leakage. As branes themselves are equivalent to the manifolds composing/containing "universes", it serves to reason that gravitons are indeed multi-universal in both nature and effect.

...none of which should be described as "Our current understanding of physics".
Our current understanding of physics is this: We have no clue how the hell gravity works. We know what it does, on large scales, but as for the quantum-level 'implementation'?
Nope.
There are various theories, such as the aforementioned string theory — but string theory is far from proven, and actually you don't have to go far to find people who disagree with it. There's also plenty of other ideas, for example loop quantum gravity.
But, fundamentally? We don't know yet.

Huh.
Is that the string theory answer to dark matter?
Also: Spin to win, baby!
Yes, I do feel the urge to make a reference to SBR whenever gravity comes up.
It's something of an ongoing problem.
