As part of wormhole physics, there is also a branch regarding solely the Stargates who work on the principal with wormholes.

[edit] Laws of wormhole physics

• The power required to activate and maintain a wormhole in the Stargate is literally astronomical. (SG1: "Children of the Gods")
• Articificial wormholes cannot be sustained for more than 38 minutes in relativistic conditions. Massive amounts of power can bypass this rule. (SG1: "Serpent's Song", "Redemption")
• The speed at which one enters a wormhole is the same at which one exits a wormhole. (SG1: "Upgrades")
