      The real question is what would happen if you tossed a normal size gate into an Ori supergate that were connected.

      We know they CAN connect, since that’s how they block the supergate from this side. And they never established whether a connected gate can move through space without losing a connection, just that you have to know where you are in space to dial out, and two gates can’t activate when close together.

        Didn’t they establish that a ship has to stop to connect? Wasn’t that a thing with Universe and the gate being ON the ship? So a gate can’t be actively moving while connected, I think. My memory is a bit fuzzy. And I feel like there’s still one time an exception is made, but it involves some one time use trickery.
