Boomer's test definitely takes about 8 hours to run, because that plot is intercut with Starbuck's interrogation of Leoben. Roslyn establishes that they've got 8 hours & 40 minutes until the bomb goes off, if there is a bomb. Starbuck starts questionning Leoben, and in the next scene, Boomer asks Baltar to test her. Then there's fun with Leoben for a while before we go back and see Baltar tell Boomer that she's human. Which is immediately followed by a scene where Billy tells Roslyn that there's less than an hour before the kaboom.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
It's a gigantic Lite Brite that serves as a power source. Developed by the Ancients, and necessary to run some of their technology; it's also required to Gate between galaxies.
I know Rodney gave some sort of an explanation of how it worked in Rising, but frankly I wasn't listening. Something about subspace.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What's a ZPM?
What's the context?

MMkay. Why couldn't Daniel just use a ZPM to catch up with Atlantis, instead of being stranded on Earth when the Pegasus left?

Yeah it's a device created by highly advanced aliens thousands of years ago that creates its own little pocket universe and then pulls vacuum self-energy out of it in mass quantities.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
It seems to me that ZPMs are actually just DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD batteries.
Kind of an anticlimax, you know? Are they antimatter batteries, at least? Any danger of annihilation?
