B. The box has only gravity applied to it, it appears out of the portal with a speed of 0 and then falls down.

If you reverse the experiment and have the box traveling upwards through the portal the answer would be A.

Whoever wrote this adds a lot of unnecessary information and also made mistakes. The speed of the orange portal is irrelevant for the question, there is no situation where the top of the cube would tug the bottom half with the portal moving at a constant velocity, and the transition does not take place over a nonzero amount of time. It looks like something that was intentionally written to create conflict rather than to answer the question, especially when you didn't even attempt to prove the source.

So the same guy from this really old email. He actually discusses some similar things here. He still makes the mistake that the acceleration might happen over time, which is clearly proven wrong by the moon scene. However, he does get it right that the bottom would push the top up in that scenario where the cube would be accelerated rather than the top pulling the bottom up. He kind of just ramble ideas in both explanations and comes to the same basic conclusion for the same reasons, so it seems reasonable it could be the same person that just forgot they had already responded to this and is not aware of the problems that could come from just throwing out ideas.

The portal envelops the box at X speed and the platform hits the box platform at X speed where speed is reduced to 0 as the 2 solid objects cannot pass each other, the speed is cancelled out. There is no other force applied to the box than gravity and the resistance of the platform it stands on.

During the portal enveloping the box, it has an alternative gravitational influence at the other side but it is proportional to the amount of mass that has been sent through, which will only reach 100% once the 2 platforms meet and cancel out speed. You can't have 99% of the box fly out the other side quickly while there is still 1% of the box stationary.

Items sent through portals in the games were moving, they had inertia and momentum and acceleration and velocity, etc.

The item in this experiment has gravity as 0 and upward resistance as 0. It isn't moving through the environment so it can't suddenly have any of those forces applied to it.

If the piss didn't inherit the blue portal's velocity as it leaves the particles would be spread thinner and thinner depending on how fast the blue portal is moving. Moving fast enough and the piss would actually come out as a mist. Think about it. If the blue portal was moving a kilometre a second then you'd be seeing one second's worth of the piss being poured out stretched over that entire kilometre.

Now imagine yourself exiting the portal in that manner. You to you be scattered over that kilometre, same as the piss.

The first line is literally contradicted by how the portals are shown to work.

Portal flings are literally using portals to change your velocity.

The A outcome in pic related is what would happen if your velocity was actually maintained. Changing direction of velocity is literally changing velocity.

You're asking that because you believe gravity is the only thing changing velocity. Because despite me telling you otherwise you still think velocity is only changed if the magnitude is changed.

Actually the opposite. It's under A that the piss could never leave. Simply have the blue portal descending so fast it instantly catches up with any piss attempting to fall out.

That scenario under B would have the piss inherit the downwards velocity of the portal so it'll automatically fall out moving faster.

I'm not even sure of an instance of portals spinning in Portal 2. The portal/laser interactions in Portal 2, namely the neurotoxin chamber part, follows the logic of what would happen if you moved a laser pointer around. The light would without fail move in a straight line no matter what you did because that's just how damn fast light moves.

Even if you attempted to slow light down but say having a portal exit move backwards or running backwards with a laser pointer the light would still end up moving at C because that's how special relativity works. Light always ends up being measured to move in the at same speed.

Look, I tire of schooling you midwits in vain, so last post. You idiots should pick a lane. Is it portals moving respective to each other (which is the point of the original mental experiment) or the speed of the object entering the portal (which poses no problem for either A or B as long as both portals retain the same relative speed).
Ponder deeply about it, and when you finally realize don't feel embarrassed. We all were stupid when we were young, you guys will get better eventually. Hopefully.

That's the rule B follows. No reason to get confused. Unless you don't understand what the greentext means, which is likely given you're an Afag.

The key thing is that means the speed of an object can change on going through the portal. Which is what is depicted in the B on >>720158240. Notice the 10 mph changes to 2200 mph?

It's A that claims the speed doesn't change. Which is why A is depicted that way on >>720158240
Notice the 10 mph stays at 10 mph?

That's not what portals do. Even when travelling great distances via portal you're required to have motion relative to the portal to travel through it.

And the games do demonstrate they handle potential issues on travelling through portals but having your momentum change on passing through. There's even an entire game mechanic built around the fact portals do this.

You don't. You fly alongside the moon at the moon's speed. This is what happens in game. You don't stay where you were when you left the portal otherwise the moon would be gone before you know it.
If you pass through a portal, the speed difference between you and the portal must be the same on both sides

It couldn't create a black hole.
Realistically, the only way to compress mass enough to form a black hole is for the mass to collapse under its own gravity. Any material in the universe (and anything containing it) would just be obliterated long before any physical force got close to crushing its atoms.
The cube, and any other object small enough to be pushed through a portal, is also a completely insignificant amount of mass and even if you could somehow compress it beyond its Schwarzschild radius (for a 10kg cube this is an area one billion times smaller than electron) the black hole would evaporate instantly.
To compress the entire Earth into a black hole, roughly one billion trillion (10^24) times more massive than the cube, it would have to be crushed small enough to fit on the tip of your finger.

>Main problem with A
Cube has to displace itself along the portal in order to emerge from the portal without "moving" in the traditional sense.
>Main problem with B
Cube has to accelerate infinitely the instant it touches the portal to reach the speed of the descending piston.

The cube experiences no acceleration in B. If you want to define it as acceleration, then you must do the same for portals changing your momentum from v to -v in the games, which should really be twice as much of a problem, yet you intuitively overlooked it during gameplay.
The problem with A is a literal logical impossibility though. It's not just "the traditional sense" of movement, it's literally movement without movement.

>Cube has to accelerate infinitely the instant it touches the portal
The cube also would necessarily accelerate the instant it crosses the aperture of the portal in A, in order to pass through the portal.
I don't know what you think "infinitely" means here, unless you think this acceleration is somehow happening in zero time, which is nonsense unless you mean that the cube is not moving in one moment and suddenly moving in the next, which is also true of my car before and after I put my foot on the accelerator.

The cube is entering an accelerating frame of reference, and naturally accelerates with equal and opposite force as it passes through the aperture of the portal.
On the surface of the Earth you are currently experiencing the non-inertial accelerating force called "gravity."
Any object passing through any portal, even stationary ones, would still be moving between non-inertial reference frames because Earth's gravity (and other forces like its rotation) are slightly different everywhere on its surface. Is any object that passes through a portal breaking physics? What about when Chell goes from the Earth (9.8m/s^2) to the Moon (1.6m/s^2)?

The action of the cube passing through the accelerating portal seems strange and intuitive because it's not something we're naturally familiar with, but it's following exactly the same principles as any object traveling through curved spacetime.

Yeah....that's the point...
It's already been said, if a portal with any velocity at all is exerted onto an object at rest, then it would move itself into the space on the other side, no matter how small it is
You could use a very very long pillar if necessary, as soon as a portal with velocity goes over the top the end is near
Otherwise you would argue that that's not possible, but if you do, you would get the portal hat effect - an object refusing to travel through a portal with no resistance, or otherwise not having the velocity of the portal in motion acting on the object it is covering
