Today I went down the rabbit hole of Is It Possible To Recreate The Stargate
Kawoosh theoretically as a practical effect? What I thought of first was take a
periscope, remove the top part with the top mirror/prism and fill it with water.
The viewer would now see water ripples on a vertical surface. Put a Stargate
prop around the viewer and you're good to go. But obviously this will be too
deep in and not be as close to the surface of the Stargate as it should be. Then
I started thinking about the almost holographic effect of parabolic mirrors
-that put my brain in an infinite fractal loop :-S

Anyone have any ideas? :)
