1x01 Children of the GodsTHE INTRODUCTION - Sam suddenly wants to be known by her intellectual, rather than military, rank. "Doctor Jackson, I presume. I'm Doctor Samantha Carter." 
Daniel: Look, I don’t pretend to know anything about Astrophysics but couldn’t the planets change? I mean, uh, drift apart, or something like that, to throw this map off? Sam: I knew I’d like you. You mean I’m right? According to the expanding universe model, all bodies in the universe are constantly moving further apart... So in the thousands of years since the Stargate was built... All the co-ordinates could have changed. But why does it still work between Abydos and Earth? Abydos is probably the closest planet in the network to Earth. I mean, the closer they are, the less the difference in relative position due to expansion – the further away the greater the difference. In a few thousand more years, it won’t work between Earth and Abydos either. Unless you can adjust for the displacement. [nods] Right. Now with this map as a base that should be easy, all we have to do is correct for Doppler’s Shift. Then I should be able to arrive at a computer model that can predict the adjustments necessary to get the gate working again.  Daniel: Whoa...Sha're! Whoa, easy. You've been unconscious for hours. No, I saw her! I know, we all did.  Daniel: No, it wasn't Ra. It was Apophis. Huh? Um, it’s from Egyptian mythology. Ra was the sun god who ruled the day, Apophis was the serpent guard -- Ra’s rival -- who ruled the night. It’s right out of The Book of the Dead. They’re living it.    THE PROXIMITY - While Daniel is searching for the coordinates, Sam stands close by for encouragement.   Season One index
