• Portal 2 Excursion Funnels - liquid asbestos?
    13 replies, posted
I simply don't get how they can explain the 'excursion funnels' as liquid asbestos? Liquid asbestos has none of the properties that are shown in the videos (like creating straight funnels that apparently ignore gravity and the ability to transport humans), and it would probably be extremely hot and very poisonous. They usually have some sort of fun-but-maybe-it-could-work explanation, but this is just dumb. Reference: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XWzhfuMU8U[/media]
Trollscience.
It's set 200 years after portal 1, which is already in the future. so, quite plausible in the portal/halflife universe.
Why nobody uses the portal megathread anymore?
When did games have to actually follow real-life science
Yeah, doesnt make any SENSE! What's next? A portal gun?

No but really, their explanations usually aren't this dumb.
We can't disprove it until we see blueprints of the device generating the asbestos. It could be changing the properties of it.
True, Conro. I just mean, it's quite unlike anything else we've heard. It would be like if they said "When you go through the portal you get 1000 RADIATION AND DEATH AND HEAT LOL!! coz that how it works".

We don't know how or why.
