[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 1 point 3 weeks ago (1 child) As Optozorax taught us, gravity must act through the portal. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 1 point 3 weeks ago (2 children) Well, it doesn't in the only source of knowledge we have: the game Portal. I don't know enough about gravitational forces to have a coherent theory on it, gravitational waves moving through space-time is a bit beyound my real understanding. But in the game if you put a portal on a ceiling, it doesn't "suck" you until you're throuth it, so there it isolates gravity somehow. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] mkwt@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago If you stick to the premise that the portals exist in a universe with GR, then we can pay much know that space-time is locally flat in and around at least the middle parts of the portal. We know this because things don't get fucked up when they're going through. permalink fedilink source parent [–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago At this point, I consider Optozorax’ research the primary source of how portals work. If the games disagree, they're wrong. permalink fedilink source parent
