    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.

      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.

    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.

    My theory:

    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.

    -Life theory ( a theory channel giving you advice about life like how to study well, how to stay happy, etc)
    - Philosophical & politic theory ( looking at philsophy and politics, discussing about what is the right thing to do)
    -Sport theory (looking at the maximum physical ability of human and also explaining how to win in sport match)

      Book theories could be really time consuming, though.

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

    1) Yes, gravity will make it accelerate downwards.
    (It will also start moving around slightly in the other two dimensions and eventually hit the sides, denting it in the process, possibly even shaving off bits off it by the edge of the blue portal)
    2) Lowering the yellow portal would first make the pole tilt and eventually either...
    a) Jam the mechanism by applying force from the side (if the lowering mechanism is weaker than the pole).
    b) Start shaving off the sides of the pole by the edge of the blue portal (if the pole is weaker).
    c) Start deforming/flattening the pole.
    3) Changing placement of one of the portals should simply cut the rod off and spit it out of the yellow portal at high velocity.
    Since the puzzle is based on things the engine can't do (like merging two surfaces that are clearly defined as being a specific distance from each other), the spit-it-back-out-on-one-side mechanic should be disregarded.
    Also, the rod is basically a 4-dimensional torus with finite length.

    The game kind of compensates for the mass addition and subtraction. If you put a cube into a portal on the floor so it comes out a portal on the ceiling, the cube moves ever so slightly until it hits the edge of the portal and bounces out. So the portal prevents an overload of mass by taking into consideration the initial force used to insert the cube into the portal.

    • @doctorcreeps2169
      @doctorcreeps2169 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      the cube moving slightly and then hitting the portal and bouncing out is literally just because the portals arent perfectly placed. if the portals were in the absolute perfect place the cube would fall forever with no negative affects whatsoever

    after 2 years of aging and picking up this sweet sweet game again, i realized something...
    on question b it is theorized to get compressed, which can also happen, but what I've noticed is that if you move a portal by moving the surface its, well attached to, it will disappear without coming back, which deactivates the portal that was not moved and the other portal by making it disappear
    essentially both portals just disappear and you get a rod that's sliced on both ends

    • @zedowskyy9290
      @zedowskyy9290 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      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

    What I also find truly interesting is that when you weld the rod, you can no longer tilt it. It will be perfectly vertical, permanently at 90° (assuming that's the position it had when you joined it). Think about it and the forces involved when trying to tilt it.

      Andres Bello yeah, it can move within the confines of the portal because any translation now has a fourth spatial component, Euclidean geometry applied to three dimensions with a fourth “fudge factor,” for my lack of a better term.

    Love it.
    But what if you make an infinite waterfall from orange to blue, to power a water wheel for one day, then an infinite waterfall from blue to orange the next day, and keep alternating?
    The energy involved in creating and destroying the mass associated with each portal end must ultimately come from the batteries in the portal gun, I guess.
    Also, two things occurred to me regarding the falling 'infinite pole'. It will eventually reach terminal velocity because of friction with the air... but that much friction will heat the air, and pole, to what temperature? I imagine the air could become plasma, the pole could melt, and you have a whole mess of other problems then.
    And when it gets really fast, relativity will start to say some funny things. Relative to the portals, which are stationary, a fast-moving pole will get shorter. A shorter pole forced to occupy a longer space will be stretched. Relative to the pole at terminal velocity - travelling at a constant speed, this is just as valid a frame of reference - the portal ends will appear closer, and the pole will be compressed to fit in the space it occupies.
