Saruman didn’t fool the valar. They abandoned him long before the time of the book. Oh well The rest of the memes were very good

The badge on his chest says 'cargo 200, we're together' (it rhymes in Russian), where cargo 200 is military slang for bodies of dead soldiers.

 Someone good at physics, please help, my family is dying I say B, because if I remember my Portal correctly, you keep any momentum you have, and RELATIVE to the orange portal, the people have momentum. So it all depends on if the blue portal "cares" if things have momentum relative to IT, or relative to the ENTRY/orange portal.

It has to be B because the object emerging from the exit portal does so at the same speed it enters the entry portal, it doesn't just appear fully outside the exit. That means it necessarily has velocity relative to the exit portal, and for it to just stop the moment it's fully exited would require potentially fatal instantaneous deceleration And I just want a small chocolate frosty, please

A, leading to B. The un-even distribution of weight of what appears to be a tower of humans will eventually succumb to gravity and fall back through the blue portal, gaining momentum as it does. As it emerges through the orange portal it is immediately returned to the blue portal with its new momentum intact, potentially falling back into the portal x number of times until such point at which 'escape velocity' (outcome B) is achieved

Neither. They all die because you can't physically move portals once created. You can only destroy and recreate

It's B. In Portal, your momentum relative to the entry portal when you enter is the same as that relative to the exit portal when you leave, but doesn't stay the same in an absolute frame of reference* since it gets rotated. This scenario adds a speed difference to the portals, but that just changes the magnitude of the momentum change, not its fundamental existence. *an absolute reference frame doesn't exist in real life of course, but a video game does have one

I say A because of conservation of energy. Either the trolley slows down to accelerate the bodies or the bodies stay still. Anything else creates energy out of nothing. Also portals aren't real.

I think it's easier to figure out when the portal is lower and we imagine the tracks going through. It's a very clear picture in my mind of a hole getting railed faster and faster. And then what's this? Five more guys? I hope the train doesn't stop!

Portals already break conservation of energy since you can have them at different heights. Drop from a high portal into a low one to make perpetual motion. CainFortea posted:The portals in portal also don't move, so the portals are the absolute frame of reference You do plant a moving one in the neurotoxin chamber, and the moon at the end would be moving relative to you too. It's definitely a gameplay thing to prevent it, making the engine handle that edge case would be a huge pointless undertaking.

The people have momentum relative to the orange portal. The enter the orange portal at the speed of the trolley, so they exit the blue portal at the speed of the trolley. From their frame of reference, there is no acceleration, the room the blue portal is in is moving towards them at the speed of the trolley. That's even what they would see if they looked in the orange portal. To emerge from the blue portal and suddenly stop would be instantaneous acceleration towards the blue portal

Can we make a rule that you have to post at least one (1) meme in order to contribute your reckons to this discussion? The real answer is that it doesn't really make sense and there's a reason why the game doesn't allow you to place portals on any moving surfaces. The video game logic is that the portals create continuous space between two previously distant points, it isn't a teleporter like in the Quake games. So moving a portal over stationary bodies (relative to the inertial frame, which is the same between both portals) means that all the matter that the portal moved over would be constantly having to displace the matter that the portal had just passed over. The video-game-logical interpretation of that is that it would create momentum (it would just "push" it through with the velocity of the trolley) so the answer would be B. You can't answer the question in terms of actual physics because it is theoretically possible for matter to be displaced in that way. Putting my money where my mouth is and contributing memes to the discussion as well:
