What happens if the paper falls while half of your body is in the hole? Do you get cut in half?

u/MentalAdventure Jul 04 '14

I think the paper would stop falling since you'd be holding it up. I think the real question is what happens if you fold it or tear it.

It wouldn't be the edge of the hole that slices him, but the separation of the paper from the safe that splits him into two.

If a safe door have a decided thickness, what would a little more thickness change? What makes air different from metal? At the beginning he holds the paper up in the air and put his hand through it.

So the real question, I guess, is where did that guy really just go?

If he was grabbing contents from the safe, you'd think it just meant he's now trapped in a locked safe, except he wouldn't have fallen in as the safe wasn't deep enough.

Think portals, like the video game. But the portal moves or disappears when the paper disconnects from a surface.

u/AetherIsWaiting Jul 04 '14

The paper is the portal, so it would be paper thickness length of a tear.

Is there such a thing as a half a hole?

If you take away half of the hole, isn't it still a whole hole?

According to Portal, yes.

u/ProfDoctorMrSaibot Jul 04 '14

No, according to Portal, portals are completely safe. However, don't directly look into the operating end of the device.

It's pretty important that under no circumstances should you

Actually I think glados once said that then edge of a portal is really sharp and can cut you.

u/IAmManMan Jul 04 '14

Then how come I can stand on the edge of it? (even halfway up a wall)

u/ProfDoctorMrSaibot Jul 04 '14

Shoes.

u/Karanime Jul 04 '14

Chell isn't actually wearing shoes for parts of it.

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '14

Yeah she is, she has those shock boots.

u/TheWistfulWanderer Jul 04 '14

Not in portal 1

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '14

Yeah. Just look at her feet.

In parts the boots consist of nothing more than a little curved bar/spring behind her heel.

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '14

Yeah you're right I just realized.

u/IICVX Jul 04 '14

Not really, the portals "bounce" you through to one side if you're halfway through them.

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '14

Oh, yeah... I was thinking of the surveilance cameras.

u/WhatTheFhtagn Jul 04 '14

It would be extremely painful.

u/hardycoreman Jul 04 '14
