    Are stargates cloning devices? Aren’t they wormholes? I haven’t watched a lot of SG-1 so forgive me if they covered that

      They frequently mention the Stargate operates using wormholes, but also that things dematerialize and get reconstructed on the other end. The iris works because it’s so close to the wormhole that it doesn’t leave enough room for things to be reconstructed. Also Teal’c got stuck in the Stargate “buffer” once when the power was cut prematurely from the other end.

        And remember the Jumper stuck in the gate? It all had to go through, not just a part of it

        In universe, Stargates dematerialize you, transport you using a wormhole to the other gate’s pattern buffer and that reconstructs you. So if we say that transporters are cloning machine, so are Stargates.
