minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink7•1 year agoI would imagine that the relative motion between the entry/exit portal would be more important than the absolute motion of the two portals.
minus-square@dragontamerlinkEnglish11•edit-21 year agoPortal 2 ends with you (Chell) placing a entry portal on Earth vs an exit portal on the Moon. That means the portals were ~2236 mph (aka Mach3) relative to each other.
minus-square@SuddenDownpourlinkEnglish1•1 year agoWouldn’t that provoke all air in the Earth to get sucked to the Moon due to the difference in atmospheric pressure?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•1 year agoVacuum doesn’t suck. The atmosphere on Earth would push air through the portal with a pressure of about 1 bar.
minus-square@ArcheTeloslink3•1 year agoYes, but the flow rate is only so much. It was only open for a short time before Glados closed it.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•1 year agoHmm well if an object passed through that portal and it wasn’t moving ~2236mph relative to the surface of the moon, then I guess the question from the OP has been answered already haha.
