(no subject)

So, I'm writing a fic, and... I'm completely hopeless at anything sciencey. (Not that Stargate itself doesn't suck majorly at that, too, on occasion, but hey.) So, question, oh brainy ones:

What might MacGyver and geek!Sam need to work on together?

She's an astrophysicist, of course, and seems to be a bit of an engineer, and he's... well, done a lot of things. He seems to know stuff about chemistry, physics, nuclear physics... he helped to dismantle nuclear weapons, once lived in an observatory (verrrrry briefly, at the very start)... also knows stuff about forestry, conservation, and - well, pretty much anything. 

That was probably a massive display of my ignorance on such subjects, but Wikipedia is only so helpful.

I know Sam much better than MacGyver but...

From what I've heard, Mac strikes me as a chemist who's dabbled in lots of other sciences. Chemistry and physics actually intersect very strongly in a lot of spots, so he could easily be doing the nuclear stuff from a chemistry background.

Sam is supposedly a theoretical astrophysicist, but most of what we see her doing is more engineering - along with some computer science, biology, chemistry, geology and occasional physics.

So, with those two, you could throw just about any science problem at them. Can you give me any more context for what you need?

I think just about anything is the answer...but like abyssinia I need more context :)
