need to know pretty quick. Well i guess not, but there are some in my belly right now that i could much prefer knowledge on the time of collision between the substance inside the gelatin, and my stomach walls.
Anyone know?

Depends a lot on metabolism as well as how much if anything else is in your stomach.

gelcaps + empty stomach = 20 minutes tops
-------------------- "America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom you've lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. And in the end, the product doesn't belong to you. The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you don't care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve." - Tom Morello

Agree, maximum time.
Ultimately it might not matter. It might be 10-20 minutes for the gelcap to dissolve, 1-5 minutes to spread the chem into your system. Then the chem inside might have a 30-50 minute timetable before it kicks in.
So in the end you are looking at a 41-75 minute timetable. Thats a big margin of error. Especially considering its all guestimates anyway.
BTW, what is in the capsule?
-------------------- "To do right is to know what you want. Now when you are dissatisfied with yourself it's because you are after something you don't really want. What objects are you proposing to yourself? Are they the objects you really value? If they are not, you are cheating yourself. I don't meant that if you chose to pursue the objects you most value, you will attain them; of course not. Your experience will tell you that. But success in getting after much labor what you really don't care for is the bitterest and most ridiculous failure." -George Santayana

3 grams of syrian rue in capsules. I took them around 11:30.
I just at mushrooms about 12:30. I allowed 30 minutes for the caps to dissolve, and 30 for the maoi to take hold. So i'm on the verge of diving in at the moment. Very increased heart rate, no nausea. Hell i have a thread in the psychedelic experience.

zippoz "in times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings - artists, scientists, clowns, and philosophers - to create order. In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption" "People do it every day, they talk to themselves ... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."

Hold an empty gel cap in your mouth. It's only going to last one or two minutes before it starts to dissolve and tear. That's with saliva having a pH of 7-7.5.
Now imagine how long it would last in an environment full of gastric acid with a pH of 2-3.

Yeah, I think the answers so far are a bit hi for average times. You would need to know the type of capsules you have before any meaningful answer could be reached. This probably should have been asked in chemistry and pharmacology
Here's a chart for varying gelatin compositions
