Thread 718744934

I don't understand why don't people get it, it's just basic physics.

>>718744934 (OP)
both portals moving

all fields

I dont get why people keep arguing this question
I used to believe the same thing until I realized the point isn't that it's a hoola-hoop, it's that gravity affects the object as its entering AND leaving the first portal.

The moment the edge of the object is through the portal, the newly-transferring mass is gaining upward momentum through the new portal. Depending on how fast the piston is slamming downward with the entrance portal, the speed of the object would increase, as the object escaping out of the exit portal would only increase.

God, I'm actually participating in this thread again

Ending proves B.

>>718744934 (OP)
that's not how physics work

>>718745948
Portals close when they are moving

>>718746297
I like how you say this in response to a diagram of a post above the one you were replying to showing in game footage of that diagram.

>>718746354
Didn't read the thread, won't scroll up

>>718746395
Yes, I can tell.

>>718746467
And yet you felt the need to reply for some reason

>>718744934 (OP)
alright, made me lol

>>718744934 (OP)
basic physics of a imaginary element, so it can have any physics imaginable
nobody with more than 2 fingers of forehead cares about this

shut up NERD, you fucking DORK

You're free to add that to the list of things that confuse you about this thread.

Why would a static object passing through the portal be subjected to any force other than gravity? Like if you put a door frame on wheels and launched it at me, I would obviously have to jump in place to avoid tripping on the frame but there's no force to launch me forward when I pass through.

>>718746607
The thread doesn't confuse me, it goes up and it goes down but I only want it to go down. However what does confuse me is why your ass does the same thing on fat cocks.

>>718745907
the portal is sucking in the air not creating momentum.

>>718746782
How does air blowing at 10mph cause someone to go 2200 mph at a perpendicular angle?

>>718746782
Explain the OP then

>>718745907
Earth moves through space at 1.3 mil mph, and rotates at 1000mph, wtf point is that image trying to make?

>>718747427
That if A were correct, the moon would have flown away from Chell when she crossed it.

>>718744934 (OP)
Well that does it then.

>>718744934 (OP)
It's actually C. The portal gathers completely unmoving, compressed air particles until it stops, at which point the explosive decompression of those air particles wanting to be somewhere else launches the cube away from the portal.

Are you an actual retard or just pretending?

Why is the only way you can BTFO Afags to draw what they think but put a B next to it instead?

>>718750059
>Yet another Afag who doesn't even understand what A entails

>>718750189
Explain to me then how that aligns with A. You understand it so help me to. The side of momentum preservation doesn't go for the situation with preserved momentum because...?

>>718745907
what are the chances that by shooting the moon from earth with a portal gun you manage to hit directly next to the lunar lander?

>>718746891
the air travels to fill the vacuum at the speed of sound, not 10mph

>>718750343
The same as managing to hit any other spot on the surface of the Near Side multiplied by the number of portal sized spots within a certain radius to be considered "next to" the lander

>>718750284
Fine. I'm feeling generous so I'll spoonfeed you. A means there is some absolute reference frame relative to which momentum is preserved. Momentum is a vector, meaning it has a direction. If momentum is preserved like afags claim, you will keep falling downwards and be sliced in half by the portal, instead of your momentum changing to be sideways and launching out of the portal (hint, this is what happens in the game)

If it's basic physics how come we don't have portals irl yet

>>718752541
Engineer issue, the physics is solid

>>718752578
>the physics is solid
albeit paradoxical.

>>718752490
A does not mean that. When you come up with an explanation that retarded it should tip you off that you're misunderstanding something.

>>718750343
>what are the chances that by shooting the moon from earth with a portal gun you manage to hit directly next to the lunar lander?
100%.

>>718752541
violates causality/relativity and is only mathematically possible within the same reference frame (That is, there is no relative difference in motion between the portal mouths)

It also violates the second law of thermodynamics

you have to introduce new kinds of math/physics to try and reconcile and fix these problems but it's basically handwavium as we don't have any real portals or wormholes to observe what's actually the case and there are no indications that real ones exist

>>718752708
>muh paradoxes
Just build the fucking device

>>718750343
Does the concept of aim factor in?

>>718752719
Alright, what does A mean?

>>718753508
That passing through a portal will not cause a change to the objects momentum. It will not suddenly change direction and slam into the edge of the portal according to some retarded absolute frame of reference. The very idea of passing a portal's threshhold having any effect on an object is the core of B.
To be clear here, using portals to transfer vertical momentum into horizontal is not a change of direction, it's folding space to turn that change of direction into a straight line, preserving the momentum as it was.

>>718753981
>will not cause a change to the objects momentum
But the central point of A is that the cube will magically stop after exiting the portal and plop down. You people try to justify it by saying the cube was never moving and portals don't change momentum, but if they don't change momentum that leads to the situation in my original image where after exiting the portal you keep moving towards the ground and get cut in half by the portal because your momentum (and thus direction, remember, momentum is a vector) doesn't change. It also implies the existence of some absolute reference frame, because there's no such thing as "not moving" without one.

>>718754670
I'm not wasting time with you anymore, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what you're arguing against and are in too deep to allow that to be corrected
