No, he entered the entry portal at V relative to the portal, so he exits the exit portal at -V relative to the portal. This works with any door or hoop. Only in reality, you can't have one side of the object moving while the other is stationary.

Both A and B rely on a magical portal, which simply connects 2 points in space. But B doesn't have any other issues apart from that. B just makes more sense, even if it sometimes feels unnatural.

Listen Bfags, you lovable scamps, instead of the cube; try to picture the portal rushing towards (You). You won't be flung out of it because what is actually happening is new space in manifesting around you. You aren't rushing to a space. Space is rushing to YOU. An impossibility in abscence of a portal. Space will never and can never do such a thing in a world without portals.
Hence A.
If you were catapulted at speed in an arc AND a portal also intercepted you; it would not add to your speed. The position in space would simply happen earlier in time.

With B, how is an object imparted with new energy/force with no applicator?

Once inside the truck, you'll essentially have entered a room that was formerly moving toward you at high speed.

>>729047134
>With B, why isn't the object/person ripped in half right away from their new velocity compared to the ret to arrive half?
Why would they be? You get ripped in half when two parts of your body are moving apart from each other. If the parts of your body don't move away from each other but instead stay together, which is the whole point of B, then the obvious conclusion is that the two parts of your body will in fact not move away from each other to rip apart.

>With B, how is an object imparted with new energy/force with no applicator?
The same way a portal can change momentum direction without a force. It is a short jump to think that it will change the vector rather full vector rather than just the direction.
>>
>>729047520
The new space's effects such as? One portal lowers over him rapidly, the other still portal extrudes him at the same rate. He is neither compressed nor expanded, slowed nor accelerated. He is simply taken from a frame of reference where he's holding still relative the floor to a frame of reference where he isn't.
>>
>>729047389
But "space" was never moving toward you. An object is.
Whereas with the portal there is space *itself* moving towards you.
What warrants you arbitraily painting the contents of the truck as a space as distinct from the space outside it? Nothing. Take the walls of the truck away except the back and what happens to the man in this experiment? A wall moving at him, then stopping. Nothing else.
Do you see anon?
>>
>>729047134
>With B, why isn't the object/person ripped in half right away from their new velocity compared to the ret to arrive half?
Because the new velocity is in perfect sync with the speed at least the part of him yet to enter is entering.
(Inb4 you try to claim that speed is zero, enterance speed is an inherently relative concept)
>With B, why isn't the potential air pressure ripping his skin off or compressing him to 2d depending on his speed?
There would be air blowing out of the exit that is true. But he's be leaving in the same direction that the air is moving so that is not an issue.
>With B, how is an object imparted with new energy/force with no applicator?
The portal is the applicator. It's the same way a portal demonstrates changing a passing object's velocity whenever it changes the direction it is moving.

The real question is why you have a big hang up over the idea of the cube's velocity changing and yet are fine with the cube changing move direction which is literally the cube changing velocity. But the answer to that one is you don't grasp that changing move direction is changing velocity.

The way I am moving relative to the portal I go into becomes the way I am moving relative to the other portal.

If the velocity numbers didn't add up then more or less of me would come out of the portal than went in.

The essential failure of bfaggotry is to equate moving space with a moving object.
Your confusion is understandable: "moving space" is an impossibity in real life without portals. But IF portals are possible THEN A must be true. Neither B nor A are true in a world without them. Because the probelm simply cannot come up.

Huh? But you can measure space as moving easily just by setting the frame of reference as an object. That's all this is. Set up the math problem such that you don't have to measure anything impossible to measure.
If you are moving relative to space you will stay moving relative to space.

You are so far up your relativity you don't even know how retarded this is.

The portal doesn't impart anything. It is a hole. You need to start with the correct logic to even begin to predict logical outcomes.

>The real question is why you have a big hang up over the idea of the cube's velocity changing and yet are fine with the cube changing move direction which is literally the cube changing velocity. But the answer to that one is you don't grasp that changing move direction is changing velocity.
Because we're talking about the foundation the question is even built on, the Portal game logic... The properties and effects have already been laid out.

Truest answer that is possible is A, gamers choice. B is half-educated NPC bullshit that changes the original properties and can't describe anything past "relativity".

In the event space moves around one particular object, due to all other objects being inside of space and thus subject to its change in position, and all measurement being based upon the changes in relative positions of those objects, it would be indistinguishable from that object moving.

>You are so far up your relativity you don't even know how retarded this is.
It's not even relativity I'm talking about here it's the fundamentals of what is happening. Even A says this happens. Tell me, if a portal takes one second to engulf the cube as it is going down how long does it take the cube to fully leave the portal? If your answer is one second then you've acknowledged the two ends are in sync.

>The portal doesn't impart anything. It is a hole. You need to start with the correct logic to even begin to predict logical outcomes.
Drawing conclusion based on it "being a hole" isn't sound. What is sound is observing the behaviour exhibited by the portal, regardless what you call it.

>The properties and effects have already been laid out.
Which is true, but those properties and effects include changing the velocity of what passes through them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASUUN0W4_JY

This is a false equivalence because the cube is on a stationary platform and the platform exists between portal a and b, is not completely encompassed by the portal, which is when the relative velocity of the portal’s approach would be transferred onto the object if it completely passed through in order to satisfy newton’s law

Let me chime in and call you a retard too. Just think for a moment, what happens to all the air that gets captured by the portal? If it were A, it's absurd. Replace the air with any liquid. A demands it stops motion but you have a fluid coming in at a fixed rate, it must exit with the same fixed rate.

>>729050357
moving space and moving objects is equivalent
>>
>>729050357
>space moving relative to an object does not equate to that object moving
In all measurable ways it does.
>>
>>729050378
Nature abhors a vaccum. No air is transfered beyond a bit of turbulence trading eddies between the portals.
The object is therefore minorly jostled upon exit.

>>729049471
>It's not even relativity I'm talking about here it's the fundamentals of what is happening. Even A says this happens. Tell me, if a portal takes one second to engulf the cube as it is going down how long does it take the cube to fully leave the portal? If your answer is one second then you've acknowledged the two ends are in sync.
If your logic says portals impart the force to what observers consider "whole" objects, no matter the compositions, there's no helping you. Is this how you would logic real life objects act too?

>Drawing conclusion based on it "being a hole" isn't sound. What is sound is observing the behaviour exhibited by the portal, regardless what you call it.
You haven't observed shit. Everyone is choosing or making new predictions based on what HAS to be a shared set of parameters, even if simplified or incomplete. This back and forth should be clarifying missing information to defend either sides choice. My defense stands as a solid, and yes simple, foundation of in-game explanations on portal compositions and effects. Your defense has been a one trick pony with no defense outside of, "just ignore it because relativity is all that matters, the rest will magically sort itself out".

>Which is true, but those properties and effects include changing the velocity of what passes through them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASUUN0W4_JY [Embed]
Non maker says "relativity" "vectors" "no conservation". Makers say the way the game explained and played out is how it works. So the best you have for me is you aren't even arguing for the correct B? You aren't even using portals in anything since you changed the parameters of the original question..

>Again
Yes, you've revealed you aren't even talking about the original question. You made up your own rules to be NPC correct.

Nobody thinks its B in this image. Your IQ is just too low to understand that B in the portal problem, is A in your image.

Consider, what the man in the chair sees. He sees the doorway move towards him, pass over him, and then move away behind him.

Now consider what the cube sees. The cube, sees the portal moving towards it, the portal passes over the cube, then behind the cube the portal moves away as the cube flies through the air. As far as the cube is concerned it never moved anywhere, the entire room on the other side of the portal moved towards it.

Both portals share the same reference frame. If we make it an inertial reference frame, we can assume both portals are stationary. Remember, even if one or both portals are on a moving object, the portals are themselves still an inertial point in space. Any object entering either portal must therefore have velocity, which is unchanged by the process of entering or exiting.
>>
>>729051236
>The room on the other side KEPT MOVING TOWARDS HIM according to the cubes frame of reference
But you can see the room on the other side suddenly accelerate relative to his frame of reference, which is consistent to A rather than B, even though it's meant to be B.

Again, replace "air" with any fluid on right side so you can understand.

Space is locally continuous across the portal boundary (when moving at constant velocity, weird things happen when portals change accelerate). You seem to believe that B means that matter suddenly gains speed on crossing the boundary. This is not the case.

At no point does matter gain speed, you are looking at it wrong. When you look at the portal from the platform side, the entire cube is stationary, even the parts which have gone through the portal. But on the blue side, the cube was always moving, even before it came through.

Also, consider how a portal can give an object two different heights, depending on how you look at it, this is the same for speed. You seem to have no issue with an object instantly having height on going through a portal.

The question of what happens when a portal is moved bringing an item into contact with another is not a obvious one, but we know things can be displaced by things moving through portals, so it's reasonable to assume the object would just interact as if it was pressed against the other object at a rate the portal was being moved at the point of the portal's entry.

You aren't arguing any effects at all. As a bfag you must stick to your dogma that relativity of observation is god. There is no motion of mass. There is not velocity or speed or vector or hot or cold or density accept to allow for observed relative to the observer. There is no object or truth because it can only be relative to nothing. Fucking understand that you have changed the question and are answering relative to your own idiocy.

Its not exactly clear what the acceleration refers to. Do you mean the orange portal frame is accelerating. Well, assuming you mean that.

Accelerating portals are not well understood. Notice how in the classic portal problem, you avoid the issue by having the portal stop only once the entire cube is already through. In the case of objects intersecting accelerating portals, you need to make some decisions. The most simplest solution is just have the portal close, this actually works well with the game, one could interpret the prohibition of moving portals to really be accelerating portals. Vibration is acceleration, so this could explain why only some moving surfaces can take a portal. These would be special high quality surfaces designed for low vibration.

Anyway, whether a portal closes or remains open. Accelerating portals are very bad for objects that intersect them. Obviously so if the portal closes.

The cube isn't going to go flying out the other portal because the cube isn't moving. It is stationary. It will *plop* down the other side of the portal because the new outside force is gravity and gravity only. No velocity is imparted on the stationary object no matter how fast the entrance portal is moving.
ON THE OTHER HAND
If the platform with the cube IS moving with significant velocity towards the entrance portal. It will exit the exit portal with the imparted kinetic energy of the platform it was traveling on.

Ok a bullet is moving at say 1000 feet/s
The entrance portal is moving at 999.9 feet/s
You're standing in front of the stationary exit portal, what happens?
The A logic is that as soon as the bullet enters the portal, you get blasted at 1000 feet/s
If you were to reach through the portal to try and grab the bullet, you would either get sucked in and fall directly to the ground at 0 feet/s, or your arm would tear off and fall straight to the ground at that speed
The B logic is that the bullet would enter the portal and be moving at 0.1 feet/s
If you were to reach through the portal you would remain fully intact, and could grab the bullet out of the air (ignoring any heat or wind issues, of course)

It's hard to describe how a portal would affect spacetime since there's not a real physical model of how they work. Pushing "space" through itself isn't something that should happen, any more than "space" already gets pushed by objects moving through it in an ordinary way.
Portals are generally understood as an ideal wormhole that simply and seamlessly connects two areas of space across their aperture. But even calling them a wormhole isn't really accurate because portals are 2D, there's no space or time in between two portals that you need to traverse to get to the other side.
Maybe you would see effects like frame-dragging and Doppler shifting that you get with real-life extreme objects like black holes if you accelerated a portal to relativistic speeds, but even that's hard to understand since portals aren't objects, they're just magically connected 2D regions of space. Maybe someone with an actual education in physics could get into that more but as a layman I'd basically just be writing science fiction (even more than everyone in this thread already is).
>>
>>729056053
Why wouldn't it work like that?
From the stationary portal's perspective the moving portal is moving really fast and that's why it's going to push you back from going through the portal.
>>
>>729054786
you can't add vectors like that due to the portals existing at different points

In this case the non maker is someone who actually understands physics. Did the definition of a parsec change because George Lucas got it wrong?

No that's literally not the case. The way it is played out is the way the actual physics professor describes it. He's the one actually pointing at what the portals actually fucking do in the game and pointing out that it's not conserving momentum. And he's correct because he actually understands physics.

Changing the direction of a vector meaning the vector isn't conserved isn't even complicated physics. It's incredibly basic, they teach the velocity and momentum are vectors in schools.

Imagine I tape a thin sheet of paper over the exit portal.

Please, can any A fags tell what happens to that piece of paper when the cube runs into it?
>>
>>729042287
in this example, the exit passage is also moving at the same rate as the entrance passage, which means it counteracts any force that the person would have if they went through a moving portal. the most logical answer is that the stationary cube or whatever, after a moving portal falls on them, is flung out of the other stationary portal. obviously this makes no sense for a stationary object to suddenly gain speed with no force acting on it, thats because portal arent real and how they work in the game can never work with real world physics

You beleive in contradictions in reality irl if you think A is the answer, whereas those who answer B know the questions premise contradicts reality, and evolve on that premise. The question simply isn't possible to realistically give an answer to, ultimately, without arriving at the fact than any logic consistant with reality cannot possibly be used to prove an answer in a scenario which contradicts it. All laws of reality coallsce and work together, there cannot be one thing which isn't harmonious with it because it would then not be at all.

2. Have no idea how B actually works
3. Either don't read or just ignore any posts from /b/ fags (they can only repeat hulu hoops / doors and don't respond when its pointed out how B is a door with only one side moving)
4. When cornered, will just make up words to avoid saying moving like "emerged"

"Where does the energy come from" or whatever is a retarded argument, because A fags already know that by placing two stationary portals directly on top of each other things can infinitely fall e.g. infinitely accelerate, but they don't wonder where that energy comes from.

>>
>>729058142
It is a bit ambiguous now that I look at it more, because the first "panels" (there are no visual borders but they are effectively so) don't fully communicate what's going on, but I think the intent was to show the outcome of the entrence piston moving around not just the object but the platform it's on, begging the question, if the piston from the original question were to then stop later, would the box launch? The A.theist deny's the box is moving which then begs the question when it begins to. For the one that answers B., they've already answered this at the very beginning, it IS of course, moving. It's basically taking the question further to demonstrate.

how if the guy is moving or not after he enters the bus isnt relative, since the output portal is stationary while the input portal isnt, the only thing that matters is that from the busses perspective, the man is flying through it.

b logic, because the input side is moving, it is essentially acting as a force on the object, even if it doesnt touch actually touch the object. in your example it basically takes all momentum from the bullet and in the common example with the cube, it GIVES the cube acceleration, even though that obviously isnt how it works in real life, its the one that is most consistent with physics

Almost. If the exit was moving at -x, you'd exit at x relative to it or -x+x=0 relative to the room. If the exit was separate from the entrance and moving at x, meaning in the direction it's facing and you exited at x relative to it, you'd exit at x+x=2x relative to the room.

portals are only not force imparting when they are stationary. when the input portal is moving then it forces the cube to carry that momentum with it through the stationary exit portal. the exit portal is the only one that determines the frame of relativity for the speed of what goes out of it, and since the cube is moving at the opposite speed of the input portal relative to the exit portal, it is flung out like in option B

B in the original, neither here. He'd exit at 1 upwards, meaning he'd stay still relative to the blue portal on the y axis.

The portals are linked, retard. If one portal is moving, then the other is treated as though it's moving relative to the object passing through but since it can't move, it imparts that momentum as if the first portal is pushing the only non-static object which is the thing going through the portal.

Exactly, anon. People keep forgetting the portals aren't just doors-they're spatial warps with a shared reference. If the orange portal is accelerating into an object, that kinetic interaction doesn't just vanish. The blue portal doesn't care about "which one moved," it just knows something is entering with momentum, and it has to conserve it. It's like firing a potato gun where the potato is the center of gravity. The static side becomes the barrel. B is the only consistent answer with conservation of momentum and how the Portal games simulate physics.
>>
A question for all the Afags:
What exact rules cause the portals to behave the way they do? And what are the physical interactions that cause those rules?
I'll go first. With B, it's simple. The rule is Relative velocity in = Relative velocity out. In layman's terms, they essentially mirror the movement through them: you enter it moving straight into it and you will exit it moving straight away from it at your entry speed. You enter it moving diagonally from the left, you exit the other portal moving away diagonally to the left at the same speed. The speed is determined as the rate at which you pass through the portal, so a portal moving into a cube and a cube moving into a portal are identical scenarios.
The reason for that rule is that the portals are essentially wormholes. They're continuous on the inside and moving through them is identical to moving through normal space. A portal shaped hole on a wall will model how it looks from the portal frame.
>>

I lately watched someone play portal1 and 2 and glados literally says that it only relies on the momentum of the object, not the portals. The question has been discussed and solved a long time ago, but people start threads like these out of tradition or boredom

>momentum of the object
No such thing. Motion is all relative. So what is that momentum relative to? It makes the most sense for it to be relative to the entry portal.

Thats only how it looks like, the portals are object focused though. Imagine seeing it from the view of the cube, a room is pulled over your head, a mild wind is all youll feel. The whole point in portal games was that as long as youre not completely through two portals, only your own momentum matters

thats only said to help you understand the concept of momentum and the conservation of energy, it is not a strict rule of the portals
>>
>>729067697
>>729066815
The rule is that the only relativity/frame of reference that matters is that of the object going through the portal.
>b-but that doesn't make any sense in physics!
neither do portals
>>
>>729067685
>the objects momentum
Still no such thing. The cube is moving into the portal as much as the portal is moving over the cube. Both are equally correct. And since the cube is moving and there's no force to stop it, it will continue moving.
>>
In the game itself it says you keep whatever momentum you had when you go through a portal, so if nothing is acting on an object passing through a portal and it was standing still i dont think it would be sent flying, though you are lightly pushed through portals when you're near them so maybe they pull you in and push you out a bit? Has anyone tried doing the original experiment in portals engine to see what would happen?
>>
>>729067697
because there is no mechanism imparting any momentum on the cube
there must be a transference of energy into the cube for it to move, and there is no means for that to happen.
unless we suspend all disbelief completely and assume that portals violate all laws of physics and just do that for no reason, at which point there are no actual rules for how portals work and this debate is moot, anyone can make up any answer they want.
>>
>>729067857
Im not sure, but I do think portals impart a bit of energy on you when you go through them, at least I think i can remember being pushed out a bit when I go through a portal, could just be I have spotty memory
>>
>>729067749
>the only relativity/frame of reference that matters is that of the object
That's completely nonsensical. Measuring the velocity of something from its own frame will always give you zero. It's junk data. Following this, the cube would stop every time it passes through a portal, even in normal scenarios. That's clearly not what happens in game. You also didn't even try to explain the physical interactions that cause this rule to happen.
>neither do portals
Except portals follow clear, consistent rules (rules that point to B btw). They break some of our laws of physics but that doesn't mean that all of our laws are inapplicable in the portal universe, only the laws that they break.
>>
>>729067840

>the game says whatever momentum you keep you retain
>entire world has momentum relative to portal cause unlike the game portal is moving
>therefore cube, as part of that world, retains momentum
>>
>>729068071
Is it possible to recreate the experiment in the games engine? Im really curious what the actual answer is
>>
>>729067857
Yeah B has the object gaining momentum on entering the portal, and A has the object losing momentum on leaving it. I feel like B is more natural simply because you can just chalk it up to funky portal stuff.
>>
>>729042287
these threads are dumb because this is not possible so any mathematical justufucation is wrong.

Black Hole
>>
>>729067780
Thats exactly the crux: does relativity of movement apply or is momentum locked to the object until it has fully left the portal?
Because in your case, if you move the portal really fast over the objects head but apruptly stop halfway in, the object would be sucked into the portal by the new momentum on the other side
I guess as long as relativity of movement with portals isnt defined by valve we wont get an answer
>>
>>729067857
>because there is no mechanism imparting any momentum on the cube
If you'd actually read my post, you'd notice I touched on that. I'm feeling generous, so I'll spoonfeed you the exact relevant part. You're welcome. Pay attention this time.
>>729066815
>The speed is determined as the rate at which you pass through the portal, so a portal moving into a cube and a cube moving into a portal are identical scenarios.
Also, you don't need to "impart momentum" onto something for it to move. Objects in motion will stay in motion UNLESS acted upon by an external force. The cube is moving so it will continue doing that. A is the one where some momentum is imparted on it to stop it.
>unless we suspend all disbelief completely and assume that portals violate all laws of physics
Then and only then would A make sense. A relies on some absolute coordinate system as a reference point for movement which we know doesn't exist.
>>
>>729067857
Oh and I forgot. You didn't even provide a rule that attempts to explain how the portals work, not to mention actually explaining what causes that rule. You just went
>buh buh its not moving tho

>>729068253
>Because in your case, if you move the portal really fast over the objects head but apruptly stop halfway in, the object would be sucked into the portal by the new momentum on the other side
Correct. The parts that are moving will pull on the parts that aren't. In practice, it will fly out at a percentage of the original velocity that is equal to the percentage of the mass that passed through. I don't see how this in any way disproves B.
>>
>10+ years of this shit
The scenario is not possible. Portals must move the exact same way relative to each other, so that from inside their system they are both 'still'. When portals are 'still', they are only still because both move according to the wall they are attached to which are 'still' relative to each other because they move with Earth.
You cannot have two portals that are not 'still' in their reference system.

I was a sure A until I thought about gasses. Now im not so sure.

Would the air around the moving portal be moved around as usual by the moving platform as the pressure between the two portals is equal, creating an effect as if there was no portal at all? (A)

Or would the air go through the moving portal and shoot out of the stationary portal with the initial velocity of the moving platform? (B)

I think A makes sense here still, but B seems more plausible as reality.
>>
>>729068160
Not really, since due to engine limitations stationary objects can't pass through portals. The portal just stops and it functions like if you slammed a flat wall on the cube.
Though we do see with portal flings and the moon scene that the canon answer is B.
>>
Couldn't we use how the game calculates our momentum in the code to figure out how it might be imparted when being hit a moving portal? I remember watching this video where a guy recorded himself getting smashed between two portals and it left him suspended in a seemingly infinite void of orange, blue and infinite Chels in all directions, so seemingly the portals do act on you to some extent if they keep you suspended when you're stuck in two of them
>>
portals cannot move along their normals.
Anyway nobody genuinely believes in A, it's just to get attention by acting retarded like flat-earthers do

Disproven by the neurotoxin generator, moon scene, and every single time you place a portal since due to seismic activity and heat (atoms moving) nothing is ever still.
>>
The best way I can imagine a "real life" portal moving experiment would be like this: think of a train car or something with a window at the front. It's going at a constant speed, so there's no acceleration or change in momentum inside the car. When you're inside it while it's moving, you and the inside of the car are not moving relative to the car. Theres a big spike floating suspended in the air in the car's path. When the spike enters the window, does it keep going and impale you, or does it fall to the floor immediately?
>>
>>729050787
is this loss
>>
>>729046814
But if it stops instantly (ignore any damage this would cause to the truck) after you pass through the door, you wouldn't accelerate to fly forward.

Another fun thread of discussing theoretical physics with people who have theoretical degrees in physics.

>>
>>729068538
you have it figured out, just follow it all the way.

The cube exiting is impacting air molecules, e.g., applying some kind of force / energy to them for them to be displaced. Imagine not just air, but something solid like a domino. How can you get from the "the cube has no momentum" to "the cube is able to knockdown a domino".

Realize that starting at the premise of "where does the energy to move the cube come from" is fundamentally flawed, since it should be pretty apparent from this line of thinking that the cube exiting must have some kind of momentum behind it.
>>
>>729068693
Anon I don't know how to tell you, but 'Portal' and 'Portal 2' are games which abstact reality for entertainment purposes and do not reflect real physics... The game engine quite obviously treats everything as moving to the same relative velocity, and the moon is a narrative ploy.

Correct. This is a hypothetical discussion about how the portals from the games would work if they were real. We can assume that the same laws of physics we have apply to the portal universe with the exception of the laws portals break. This means that heat movement, seismic activity, motion being relative and the moon orbiting the earth all apply.
