Portal [Interesting Physics]

[Phynx]

Ah 4chan thank you for blowing my mind.

But anyway, Portal provides questions to some interesting physics, not to say they are real by any means but if they were, what are the answers and outcomes to these questions?


Put portal 1 on wall
Put portal 2 on wall 10 feet away
Put rope through the portals
Tie rope
Does it make a circle? Or a line?

and

Put a Portal on a table
Put a portal on a wall
Throw the Table through the portal
What happens?

EDIT - New questions

Put a portal on a board
Put a portal on another board
directly over the first so gravity
pulls the object though them continuously.
Now as the object flies between them
put the boards together
Does the object explode/implode/rip to shreds/enter a new dimension/infinitely expand due to surpassing speed of light?

The 2nd one would cause a black hole due to infinite duplication.

If you do it you will break the universe.

[i love you]

I think the first one will make a line but i don't know if you will be able to tie both sides so perhaps a circle. (I don't know a lot about portals)

Go listen to Steven Hawkings bro.

[C@!]

Step 1
Shoot portal gun on mirror

Step 2
Shoot self with portal gun

???

[JenovaSephiroth]

Landing a portal on a curved surface would totally **** up space-time. :V

[customstuff]

Step 1:
Shoot portal at the sky

Step 2:
Shoot portal at a wall.

Step 3:
Enter portal (wearing proper space atire)

Step 4:
Walk on undiscovered planet/find the edge of the universe?




Option 2, for Christians:

Step 1: Die, go to heaven (hopefully)

Step 2: Shoot portal on surface.

Step 3: Shoot portal on Earth and enter.

Step 4: Walk around Earth while dead/get your buddies in heaven.

Step 1: Graph 3+2i

Step 2: Throw a portal on the imaginary axis.

Step 3: ???

[~kitty~]

Step 1: Shoot portal at window
Step 2: Shoot portal at a window hundreds of miles away
Step 3: Stick head through portal.

[AsphyxZero]

Step 1: Shoot portal at japanese nuclear power plants.
Step 2: Shoot portal at new york.
Step 3: Ruin colt.45's conspiracy theories.

Shoot portal at wall, shoot portal at crotch, stick head through portal, become dick head.

[customstuff]

Shoot portal at girl's crotch, shoot portal at wall, stick dick in, rape?

[MrGiggles]

The second one wouldn't work because portals can only be placed on surfaces larger than they are. They also can't be on moving surfaces (relative to the earth I guess)

[Reincarnate]

1. Makes a line
2. In general, it'd just make a sort of dual-prong table-knot.
3. The object would just fall at its normal rate but you'd be in a tunnel composed entirely of the heights of the two boards

[JKPolk]

Phynx, if you recall during both Portal 1 and Portal 2, if you played it, any time a surface moves the portal attached to it is destroyed. The scenarios involving one portal going into another and the boards being moved together are invalidated.

This has already been explored.

[YoshL]

my question would be, when you create the portal, what happens to the surface you placed the portal on?

[Ickalanda]

1. It will make an infinite line.

2. The second one doesn't work. If you were able to put the portal on the table then that means that the table is larger than the portal, meaning it wouldn't fit through another portal since they are all the same size in the game.

3. The object would still hit terminal velocity since air would be present (unless you were in a vacuum), so it wouldn't accelerate indefinitely.

I think you just give her a dick instead.
