What happens if you walk into the event horizon of an inbound wormhole? (lemmy.world)

I mean, after the kawoosh of the inbound wormhole is done. We know that matter can only travel one way through a wormhole. Radio waves can travel both ways. So what happens if you walk into the event horizon of an inbound wormhole?

I've seen scenes where a character sticks their hand, or gun into the event horizon. Notably to 'hold the door open'. But as long as you remove your hand before the connection terminates, you're fine. Presumably if you keep a body part in the event horizon when the gate cuts off, you get a hot date with Dr Lam and the surgical team.

But if you fully jump into the event horizon of an incoming wormhole, what happens? Do you bounce back out again? Do you just go to the other side of the event horizon and walk around the back of the Stargate? Do you dematerialize, and if so, do you then get stuck and deleted when the gate finally shuts of? A secret fourth thing?

RDA stopped taking my phone calls.
