Daenth: too bad that's not possible
PoTATO: sure it is
PoTATO: why wouldnt it be
Daenth: wait
Daenth: no
Daenth: it would fall
Daenth: it still applies to gravity
Daenth: :u
PoTATO: yeah
PoTATO: and?
Daenth: and that's a single piece of line
Daenth: and it's a straight piece of rope
Daenth: line = rope
PoTATO: therefore its a circle!
Daenth: no?
PoTATO: yup
PoTATO: :D
PoTATO: because how do you know its not?
PoTATO: it could be either
Daenth: actually
PoTATO: like
Daenth: think of this
Daenth: one single wall
PoTATO: no YOU think of THIS
Daenth: portal on one side
Daenth: you go through
Daenth: stick middle of rope
Daenth: in portal
Daenth: like
Daenth: Center the rope
Daenth: now place portal on other side
Daenth: tie
Daenth: and
Daenth: wait
PoTATO: the portal doesnt open until there is a second
Daenth: really really really
Daenth: really
Daenth: really
Daenth: long rope
PoTATO: so anyway
PoTATO: the space between the portals is our dimension
PoTATO: by aperture definiton, these are interdimensional doors
PoTATO: so that rope could be a circle with an infinite radius
PoTATO: part of a circle*
Daenth: portals are confusing
Daenth: =/
PoTATO: 1 guy
PoTATO: 2 portals
PoTATO: if you shoot a portal in 1 mirror in front of you
PoTATO: and a portal in a mirror behind you
PoTATO: and look straight through
PoTATO: what do you see?
Daenth: ...
Daenth: my brain
Daenth: just asploded
Daenth: someone needs to go fix gmod portal gun
PoTATO: you know how parrallel mirrors create infinite loops?
Daenth: I want to see what will happen
Daenth: yeah?
PoTATO: the portals are doing the same thing, but instead of bouncing light back and forth
PoTATO: its going through 1 portal and out the other several times
PoTATO: so its like
PoTATO: ...
PoTATO: PORTALS ARE POSSIBLE
PoTATO: SOMEONE GET ME 2 THOUSAND MIRRORS AND SOME ROBOTS
Daenth: duplicated the same light...
PoTATO: not duplicated, just moved
Daenth: kind of
Daenth: I'm thinking too computery
Daenth: when I think of light going through the portal
Daenth: I instantly think, "OH THE SERVER WILL LAG AND CRASH!"
Daenth: :c
PoTATO: i showed you
PoTATO: forget
PoTATO: fuuuuccckool kids klub
Daenth: ?

Oromis and I got into a very confusing discussion. I want to know what you guys think of this topic about portals, real-life, string inside portals, etc.

This had me think of something...

What happens if I were to tie a rope to a wall and shoot a portal
then shoot another portal somewhere else and drag the rope THROUGH the portals and tie it to a wall on the other side...
And then closed the portals...

What would happen to the rope? Would it just snap or like... get lost in space
