    What if I told you that there is a puzzle in Portal that NO ONE has been able to solve? It's true. I'm talking about the pole puzzle. If you used Portal's endless fall mechanic and put a pole inside - what happens? This had boggled the minds of Reddit users and fans alike. Today, Loyal Theorists, I aim to solve that so-called "impossible" puzzle that not even GLaDOS could solve!

    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:
    Say we apply the same logic to Chell, she's in a corridor the same height as her, she places two portals on the ceiling and floor, and proceeds to grab her foot, then she decides to super glue her foot.
    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.

    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

    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.

    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 11 місяців тому +1

    With the pole I’m pretty sure it will actually stay still because the petals are atomically thin, as it is bending space to connect the room to itself, like a pole dancing pole stays still(some of them as othered are made to spin) because it is solidly connected to both the roof and floor, and the pole in here is solid connected to the roof and floor as it is connected to itself like a circle but instead of it being bent the world is instead being bent around it, also if the pole is affected by gravity like that through the portal then there would be air rushing through the portals at it’s terminal velocity due to the fact that gravity would be pulling it though the blue portal

    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.
