The Physics of Portal
03:31 - 12:26 (08:54)
This episode discusses the physics behind portals and their effects on objects in motion. When a portal moves down on a rod at a rate of 10 meters per second, it's the same as that rod moving up at a rate of 10 meters per second into the portal, resulting in terminal velocity.
