minus-square@jemorgan@lemm.eelinkfedilink7•11 months agoI would imagine that the relative motion between the entry/exit portal would be more important than the absolute motion of the two portals.
minus-square@dragontamer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish11•edit-211 months agoPortal 2 ends with you (Chell) placing a entry portal on Earth vs an exit portal on the Moon. That means the portals were ~2236 mph (aka Mach3) relative to each other.
minus-square@jemorgan@lemm.eelinkfedilink1•11 months agoHmm well if an object passed through that portal and it wasn’t moving ~2236mph relative to the surface of the moon, then I guess the question from the OP has been answered already haha.
minus-square@SuddenDownpour@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•11 months agoWouldn’t that provoke all air in the Earth to get sucked to the Moon due to the difference in atmospheric pressure?
minus-square@Serdan@lemm.eelinkfedilink4•11 months agoVacuum doesn’t suck. The atmosphere on Earth would push air through the portal with a pressure of about 1 bar.
minus-square@ArcheTelos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•11 months agoYes, but the flow rate is only so much. It was only open for a short time before Glados closed it.
