    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.

    1) Yes, gravity will make it accelerate downwards.
    (It will also start moving around slightly in the other two dimensions and eventually hit the sides, denting it in the process, possibly even shaving off bits off it by the edge of the blue portal)
    2) Lowering the yellow portal would first make the pole tilt and eventually either...
    a) Jam the mechanism by applying force from the side (if the lowering mechanism is weaker than the pole).
    b) Start shaving off the sides of the pole by the edge of the blue portal (if the pole is weaker).
    c) Start deforming/flattening the pole.
    3) Changing placement of one of the portals should simply cut the rod off and spit it out of the yellow portal at high velocity.
    Since the puzzle is based on things the engine can't do (like merging two surfaces that are clearly defined as being a specific distance from each other), the spit-it-back-out-on-one-side mechanic should be disregarded.
    Also, the rod is basically a 4-dimensional torus with finite length.

    So, for perpetual motion and infinite energy, all you need to do is keep reopening and closing the portals every so often. If you had a machine that after, let's say, every 5 passes an object does through the portal then it closes it and opens a new one and the same on the bottom portal then, you could have infinite energy without the inmediate possibility of a black bole. While very dangerous, still possible.

    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

    Love it.
    But what if you make an infinite waterfall from orange to blue, to power a water wheel for one day, then an infinite waterfall from blue to orange the next day, and keep alternating?
    The energy involved in creating and destroying the mass associated with each portal end must ultimately come from the batteries in the portal gun, I guess.
    Also, two things occurred to me regarding the falling 'infinite pole'. It will eventually reach terminal velocity because of friction with the air... but that much friction will heat the air, and pole, to what temperature? I imagine the air could become plasma, the pole could melt, and you have a whole mess of other problems then.
    And when it gets really fast, relativity will start to say some funny things. Relative to the portals, which are stationary, a fast-moving pole will get shorter. A shorter pole forced to occupy a longer space will be stretched. Relative to the pole at terminal velocity - travelling at a constant speed, this is just as valid a frame of reference - the portal ends will appear closer, and the pole will be compressed to fit in the space it occupies.

      This was actually only seen if the portals were spatially separated.
      What they don't seem to be, however, were they not functioning as a wormhole in the sun. If they did not have the same position in space, i.e. a space exists between them, the player also had to cross it, which is not the case in the game.
      The two ends are spatially in the same position. It's more like a tire where the two sides are two different colors.
      Because the two portals are next to each other, the negative mass and the positive mass balance each other out. The portal remains stable. No matter how much mass goes through or not.

    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

    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 Před 11 měsíci +1

  • @zxuiji

    6:41, I actually speculate it would NOT fall straight down but slowly start falling to one side while it is falling down, eventually it would hit the portal edge and bounce towards the other edge instead, still falling down, eventually it would pick up enough momentum while falling that it's bounces would become rather frequent, enough to shave away at it eventually breaking it in half.
    Assuming you tried to move the portals closer together while it was falling I speculate the forces of it pressing against itself would break it faster, especially as it would not be dead straight so it would have somewhere to break towards (which a straight pole can do more easily than a curved pole I might add... assuming the bend was against the curve that is).
    Finally assuming that you managed to move the portal before it broke while it was being pressed down I speculate that it would simply be cut by the portal closing and the pole would just shoot out like a dart before crashing into the wall or just falling onto the ground.

    One of the laws in portal is that portals can’t be moved.

    The blue one could be conspiracy theory. Could be pretty amazing.

      I really want that. Disproving certain theories. Discussing and giving evidence to other theories like murders or disappearances. Showing how a creature like Bigfoot could live in the woods without being seen using science.

    The last channel should definitely be Book Theory, there are so many amazing books that could be theorized about.

    I have a question.
    When you're holding the rod soldered together, would it still weigh the same, or would it be infinitely heavy?
    Thinking about it, it wouldn't just be basically infinite hands holding it, but it would still be interesting to hear more opinions on this.

    • @PurpleBan

      It would weigh the same, because as MatPat says in this video, there isn't infinite pole, it's the same amount of pole, it's just seeing the pole from infinite perspective, so it would weigh the same.
