What would happen?
Portals do not and cannot exist.
>>202032Let's assume they would
>>202061Well, if you assume that, go ahead and set the laws under which they work aswell and you got the answer to your question.
Assuming portals could exist, everyone knows they don't work on moving surfaces
If the two tables are the same size, how does the one with the blue portal on it shrink in panel 2?
>portals on moving surfaces
you would get one of those four dimensional sock things, you know the three dimensional version of the mobius strip? yah one of those.
klein bottle! that's what it's called!
You can't move the surfaces.
>>202103what do you mean?
depends on orientations
>>202023the top part of the blue portal's surface would start to stick out of the blue portal itself, and you wouldn't be able to push it in any further/thread
>>202115i mean would the half of the blue portal come out of the blue portal in the plane of the yellow or orthogonal to the plane of teh yellow portal.
the blue portal and the yellow portal should be the same size so you can't make them fit through each other.
The portals are the same size one table wouldn't be able to pass through the other portal.
They GET DOWN
>Portals do not and cannot exist.y not?
Assumption:1. I had to assume the orientation that the portal could come out (i.e. in plane of the yellow portal rather than orthogonal to the yellow portal). see >>2021152. The portals would have to get smaller every time to fit out. see >>202155
Can this thread be an image dumb of all the weirdass portal theory drawing, now?
>>202187It would violate causality.Besides, if it did, there would be know reason for them both to be anchored in the same point in time.
>>202211no it's clearly the formation of a klein bottle.
>>202211One do not need to be smaller than the other.They just need to be ovals.
>>202226how would this result?
This should be in the next Portal game. It's possible to attempt at some levels but if you do, game stops. Or crashes. Or it just GETS DOWN and kills you if you touch it.
>>202243Wait, it's cutting itself!I say that's cheating.
>>202243see how it folds back into itself? that's the result of the blue end of the portal leading through the yellow end back into itself. portals are connected to each other so it's a bit like a tube.
>>202263the only reason a klein bottle cuts into itself is because you can't view it properly in three dimensions, it requires a fourth.a mobius strip we see because it is a three dimensional representation of a two dimensional surface.
>>202275Aren't they both supposed to be a one surface object? I say the Moebius strip does a better job at it.
>>202023
>>202023The big table would come out of the portal, with a portal stuck to it and when it was 0.0..1 mm out of the portal it would become full size again. Immediately however, an infinite number of these tables would be produced from all the other protals and therefore a blackhole would be created due to the infinite mass of the tables./thread
>>202306yah, kinda.
>>202422:O
>>202422No, the mass wouldn't change. It would be divided by as many apparent iteration.
>>202553yes but you only need a highly concentrated mass to create a singularity/black hole. not a lot of mass. the the effect he refers to is that you will get massive densification of mass which yes probably would create a tiny black hole.
>>202562OK, now I get it.
>>202553Yes but matter is conserved when going through a portal so therefore if x went thorugh y, x would come out on the other side.
Portals dissapear from moving platforms, thus this can never happen, as soon as you start to move the table with blue portal it'll vanish
>>202588Doesn't make realistic sense, since from different perspectives, we're already moving no matter what. Earth rotates while orbiting the sun, the solar system orbits Sagittarius A*, the Milky Way galaxy flees towards its galactic neighbours, and even space itself is constantly expanding.
if portals dissapear when they are on something moving, then we couldn't have portals on Earth. Earth is not an inertial frame.
Then we are pretty much fucked, sucks to be us on so on
Can't happen, portals can't remain on moving surfaces (assumingly because they can't change location). Thus, the answer to OP's question is that the second you lift up the tables the portals are on, the portals disappear.
>>202403There you go, faggots. Thread over.
AIN'T EARTH A MOVING SURFACE? I CALL BULLSHIT ON THE MOVING SURFACE-THEORY.
>>202681EVERYTHING IS MOVING
>>202791>>202812mind = blown
>>202791>>202812so much for moving, but what about acceleration? If you want to move something relative to yourself you have to accelerate it. Would this make the portals unstable?
>>202875Maybe. I'm no physics. As a matter of fact, I've only studied high school physics. I just wanted to call bullshit on the moving surface-theory.
>>202875The earth (and everything on it) is constantly accelerated towards the sun, enabling its orbital motion.
Maybe the portals just can't move relative to one another.
Portals can't exist guys, but teleporters can.
>>202791THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE PORTALS ARE MOVING RELATIVE TO EACH OTHER YOU COLOSSAL MISUNDERSTANDER
>>203039Interesting... now THAT is a valid constraint, I think.
>>203039Congrats, you solved it
>>203039You're a stupid nigger.
If reality were different, what would happen?>Implying any answer is better than any other.
Can't someone just do a computer simulation?
