      This was actually only seen if the portals were spatially separated.
      What they don't seem to be, however, were they not functioning as a wormhole in the sun. If they did not have the same position in space, i.e. a space exists between them, the player also had to cross it, which is not the case in the game.
      The two ends are spatially in the same position. It's more like a tire where the two sides are two different colors.
      Because the two portals are next to each other, the negative mass and the positive mass balance each other out. The portal remains stable. No matter how much mass goes through or not.

    11:32 There is exactly one instance of a moving portal in the games, in Portal 2, using a portal to transmit a laser that cuts off the Neurotoxin factory. Or rather, a moving surface with the portal attached to it - which makes sense, as the portals must be anchored to something relative to current space to avoid it causing portal cuts due to the movement of the Earth and the galaxy.
    Also, another question to consider: What happens to the mass of the wormholes when a portal is destroyed and remade?

    One of the laws in portal is that portals can’t be moved. There is only one location in the games that this doesn’t not happen, in which the game devs needed to make a completely separate script to make it happen. They also said that they knew that it was against the continuity but hoped that the cool scene would cover this problem.

    question B:
    my second answer: if the metal rod is stiff, it will completely stop the falling portal, keeping it in it's original position.
    question D: what will happen if you now close both portals? will it get cut? or will it return to a normal pole?
    my answer: the portals have no insides, whatever comes in is going to come out in the other portal. it will snap, leaving the top part as the bottom part, and the bottom part sticked to the top part will be the top part.

Spending a few hours on a game or a movie is only a few hours, but a book can take a lot longer. Besides, he's already been dragged into reading the FNAF novels

    If she were to get out of the portals, she would be bent over, as her hand remains on her foot.
    Therefore, i assume as the more you weld the pole, the more it bends, and when its fully welded, its bended completely.

    With the pole I’m pretty sure it will actually stay still because the petals are atomically thin, as it is bending space to connect the room to itself, like a pole dancing pole stays still(some of them as othered are made to spin) because it is solidly connected to both the roof and floor, and the pole in here is solid connected to the roof and floor as it is connected to itself like a circle but instead of it being bent the world is instead being bent around it, also if the pole is affected by gravity like that through the portal then there would be air rushing through the portals at it’s terminal velocity due to the fact that gravity would be pulling it though the blue portal

    • @zedowskyy9290
      @zedowskyy9290 4 года назад

      You're not supporting your own mass, supporting your own mass is like standing in the bucket and trying to pick it up minus the bucket, what you do while doing push up is creating oposite force towards gravitational pull that drags you down harder than while you're standing up since your body mass isn't straight like a pole but it's parallel to the "floor"/center of gravity so theoreticly you have to push up more mass because
      A. You only use your arms which are on very end of your body which means oposite energy won't be spread equaly towards gravity at both ends
      B. Your body is parallel to the center of gravity, tldr. mass is spread across the parallel line which shows border between you and body of mass you're using to create oposite force, for instance floor which makes it harder to push yourself up
      Ps. I had 3 on physics :/, look I prefer theory and practic, and not good at math

      Not teleportation but tunneling. Teleportation is a form of transportation that takes you from one place and puts you to another with no doors or in this case portals.

    Well then just swap the portals over to make the high mass on top and the low mass on the bottom, meaning when you return the weight it lowers mass from the high mass one and adds it back to the bottom.
