...just sends the pattern and re-creates them on the other side with atoms from the other side...
Hmm, I've heard that theory before somewhere. Which sort of bothers me on the level of, what if their atoms or whatever were recreated on the other side of the wormhole with weird, exotic, local atoms? They'd probably more or less *look* the same, but their bodies would be fundamentally different. That makes me think. Of course they'd be re-materialized with familiar elements when they got back, but geez, it sounds really strange for when they'd be off-planet.
Along the same lines, Sam distinctly said that Teal'c's energy 'pattern' was stored in the crystals, so yeah, it lends credence to that theory.
