well anon?

People picking B has to be trolling.

It can't be either of them because Portals can't exist in the universe without breaking things such as conservation of momentum or conservation of energy as we know it. The answer depends on the physical properties of an object that violates the laws of physics.

Asking something like this is like asking what is at the north of the north pole or what was there before the creation of the universe. The question itself is logically inconsistent from the premise and so any answer derived from it is necessarily nonsense.

Anti-Wittgensteincels keep losing

Good bait tho, 400+ comments and counting lmao

I have no idea because I only played the first game and I think they changed the physics and stuff for the second one.

Can someone recreate this in game already and just end this r-slurred armchair physics debate?

B is the cooler option. I want B to be true, so it is.

Definitely a

Very obviously A

that's why portals like that are physically impossible

I wish it were B

66% of drama users don't know it's B. Very sad.

Is this vidya nonsense?

Obviously B- the portal is non-euclidean, but as best can tell momentum of an object entering the portal is retained upon exiting the portal and is relative to the objects relationship to the portal it entered. To be consistent with portal logic, you'd have to shoot out the portal at high speed

A voters are r-slurred

Idk. I took engineering physics 1 + 2 and then forgot everything

Anyone have the big black column image i feel like thats the best way to explain it to astrags

Option A is correct because in both cases the cube has no momentum relative to the frame of reference. Imagine the shortest straight line between the starting position of the cube X and the position at the edge of the blue portal Y. This line passes through the orange portal. When the portal "moves" the line is contracting rather than the cube traveling along it. The space cannot contract more when X=Y, which creates the illusion of motion and stopping that has people confused.

Consider a different thought experiment entirely possible in the game. The orange portal begins on the piston, but instead of the piston moving down, the portal is reopened at the location of the cube. If you treat portals as moving objects, it should be the same distance traveled. But in this situation does the cube get launched out of the portal? No, it maintains its lack of momentum.

A voters are mentally r-slurred.

Lets say you're looking into the blue portal as the orange portal goes down, from your perspective you would see the cube accelerating towards you. This momentum doesn't go away, its impossible the cube to just suddenly lose all of its momentum instantly without hitting something

A.

For all the Atards. Consider what happen to ur butt in this situation. Would you not be propelled?

When you slam an open window down around something said object doesn't magically propel itself

I voted B

This is why teleporting to another planet will always be impossible, until "the stars align"

Because you'd get ejected on the other side at millions of miles per hour
