(ah, pressure, yeah, that *should* be an issue. I also love how every planet seems to pretty much have Earth's gravity - including the moons)
Hm. Have we ever seen light pass through the Stargate? What always gets me is that, okay, I think the Stargate converts you to energy and then rematerializes you on the other side (how else would Teal'c be stored in a buffer in 48 hours) which means nobody is made of the same atoms they were made of before and maybe they could do something cool with planets having different isotopic abundancies...
I think it would break Jack's brain to be told he's no longer made from ANY of the atoms he used to be made from. (though this wouldn't explain why you leave the 'gate with the same momentum at which you enter it)
Oh, hey, so the Stargate doesn't really suck things in, right? So maybe a molecule/atom has to actively pump against the event horizon with enough pressure to be pulled through - with no forces from the other side pulling? So a few air molecues would go through, but not a ton.
Of course, this does expose the gateroom to foreign contaminants (they're really remarkably unworried about that) but would keep you safe from 'gates in space.
Which doesn't explain the affect of gravity from a black hole - but isn't that the only time we see forces pass thorugh?
