If the portal gun can make portals.... - Games

Couldn't it make a TIME portal? [highlight](User was banned for this post ("cliffhanger thread title" - Spork-Juct))[/highlight]

Portals =/= Time travel

No. Speedy thing goes in speedy thing comes out.

A portal is a hole through time and space, a galactic short-cut if you will. First of all, you would have to make a time machine, go back in time, put a portal down, go back to the present, put another. Boom instant super fast time portal.

If the portal gun can make portals..... then can the gravity gun make gravity????

[QUOTE=zombiefreak;17380614]If you go fast nuff, you can break through the dimentions of time.[/QUOTE] I did that once, next week.

[QUOTE=DementNeo;17380679]If the portal gun can make portals..... then can the gravity gun make gravity????[/QUOTE] It simulates gravitational pulls.

The portals are like wormholes, but more controllables and less dangerous. With the power of wormholes you could traver the time and space, but we don't know if Aperture Science worked with advanced teleportation utilities like wormholes.

They're two way connections between separate universal points. All energy and matter that passes through them comes out the other side, but they can not go through time.

Gee, you guys got a revolutionary gameplay mechanic, nothing more, nothing less, down to a science, huh? Let's go make the Institution of the Study of Portals. Also on topic: No.

[QUOTE=zombiefreak;17380741]Kidnap Kleiner. :smug:[/QUOTE] to learn about aperture technologies, let's kidnap a black mesa scientist this is like the best idea ever :downsbravo:

Assuming you didn't place both portals during the exact same millisecond...

[QUOTE=zombiefreak;17380741]Kidnap Kleiner. :smug:[/QUOTE] I hope i can leave now.

You do realize that the portal doesn't stop or speed up time on the other end, right? Time would continue normally on both sides of the portal. So no. The portal gun cannot create time portals.

I thought about this for quite awhile, and I came too the conclusion that it makes gravity flow in two directions at the same time. Example: Gravity is pulling you down, you have two portals on the ground, the gravity itself is going through the portal and coming out the other end , there you have an area where gravity is flowing in two opposite directions at the same time, possibly creating anti gravitiy? ^^sort of offtopic, but still.

This thread is gonna make me rage, with all those idiots that think they can explain how Portal portals work :rolleyes:

The portals don't have separate timeframes, they're connected.

[QUOTE=EcksDee;17384254]THen the portal you put down in the past would still show whatever the second portal you see.

The Portals cannot be opened in all times at once, thats impossible.

If the gravity gun can make gravity. can the Crowbar make crows?

It can make crows die, close enough?
