I still say you wouldn't hurt yourself, just that you'd be the first person to give yourself a proper handshake.


Awesome pic, btw. Very cool.

What if a portal was linked to two others, what would happen then?

We're assuming the instant transport of matter to another linked point is possible, so why not up the stakes?

Would your mind split, or would you create a clone, which would be the "you"? Etc, etc...

You could not link more than 2 portals. That's just...Not possible.

What would you see? There is no way you could go about this.

It would start to come out of itself before it fully went in and by the time you got the last part in it would be fully out I believe.



I want coke, not Pepsi!

when I think about it, it's impossible, portals only go on clean, white, flat and still objects. . to put on portal into another it will have to move, but as soon as you move it the portal disappears...

...i need to stop before my brain implodes with confusion

good frame rates matter...

Two month bump, why? Why dig up a thread that has been dead for 2 months!
