Nebula Classes - Great classes by your favorite creators on a creator-owned streaming service: https://nebulaclasses.com/minutephysics
This video is about what happens if you try to pass a portal (like in the video game Portal or Portal 2) through itself - do you get a paradox? Infinite recursion? Impossibility? Contradiction? The end of the world? Collapse of the wavefunction? Ultimately it ends up looking beautiful and weird and recursive and... just watch the video :)

What if the blue portal is smaler than the orange one, and whatever goes trough is getting bigger or smaler (depending on wich portal it goes in and out)

peki turuncu portal daha büyük olsa ve mavi onun içine girse mavinin içinden bir tane dahamı mavi çıkar
@racetheghost Says:
What if they both go face first to each other
@coolgamer-12f Says:
So the blue portal will be yhrowed and tit will teleport to a distance because it's teleportdd

@davidawesomeness4466 Says:
Finally! Someone answers the question I’ve wanted to know!
@JayPlayzBlox0130 Says:
So this is why we don’t have portals irl
@DuckZVR-q5i Says:
Someone help my brain isn't braining
@YukiCwC Says:
Why didn’t you try to make it pass through it standing up right? I mean prallel to each other?
@jrobertech Says:
This is how you divide by zero
@Delta-Kris-Dreemur Says:
Yeah just walk through it for me please.
@LetsDeweyThis Says:
Scientists have theorised that black holes are somewhat similar to portals. If you're try to push a portal through another, it might just merge and become a portal to nothing, which means essentially it would become a black hole
@korengo-qn6nt Says:
the most random video i ever had on my timeline
@DiegoCarSpotterTX Says:
I think it would duplicate the blue or orange portal infinitely
@VRSilverC Says:
Thanks for explaining this stuff in a way that doesn’t cause my tiny brain to implode

@AaronWolfenbarger Says:
WTF are you talking about? You can have a portal close to another one they wont form!
@I_Am_Lappsy Says:
I love how at the end, E=mc2 is near other confusing things like 0.999...= 1 and e to the i pi +1 = 0.

This the typa shit school teachers got you learning instead of actually useful shit.
@exetending Says:
if you put two portals in the exact same spot its basically just a full 180 turn i learnt ts from gmod
@Eddiemoo19 Says:
I wish this thing could work
@CookieMonster-nt8hh Says:
that was... less destructive than I thought
@AmazonessKing01 Says:
The Blue Clue's bgm makes this nice.
@PorkChop883 Says:
I find myself coming back to this video once a month to remind myself why the blue portal comes out of itself so weirdly at 1:40. Writing this comment for myself so I can remind myself.
The blue portal is going through the orange portal at the position corresponding to 1 on the blue portal. When the blue portal "folds over" itself, all of the other parts of the blue portal that are passing through the orange portal at position 1 should still be coming out of the blue portal at position 1, hence why the blue portal looks weird. The portal faces backwards once it folds over, and it follows all the sensible directions and orientations at which it enters the orange portal.

blast did it in his fight vs garou its basically get stuck in infinty loop
@TheGhosts_Offizial Says:
but what if the blue portal is smaller than the other portal?
and its been thrown in the other portal will it keep generating itself?
@OfficialAdvid Says:
Your voice is so obnoxiously gay
@shaitanfog Says:
Somehow this reminds me to when the TARDIS materialized inside itself.
@wedoalittletrolling-im4ti Says:
I always thought it would just implode
@unavailable_being Says:
I feel like the blue portal would go through enough to just go through and stick to something. So it passes through but never sticks within. It just sticks to whatever is seen through the orange portal?
@0-........___----------pps---a Says:
It makes an pocket dimension
@Coolkidd-sgb Says:
what happens if no rotation face to face
@micahberlin8332 Says:
But wait, what’s the back of a portal do?
@burgerfood8076 Says:
If you passed through a portal that passes through itself, it might turn you into a tangled-up pretzel on the way out, especially if several of its edges stick out! That might kill an organism!

My brain got deep fried
now imagine nether portals...
@Bruhlol12345 Says:
Now add some guns and you got splitgate

@johnghvineria Says:
2:01 My brain isn't working
@SimgaGoku Says:
What if the portal is a weird shape and it accidentally go inside itself? Would it go through itself or will it unlock something not even reality can describe?
@Zelyusi Says:
What if u get a portal gun and shoot it up so it goes infinity and make another on the floor and go in
@NolenBennett Says:
1:14 my portal is extending
@VolpeJosesk Says:
¿What if you enter on the corner of the interlation of the portal while it's blending in another portal?
@crystene8316 Says:
put a small portal in a big portal and their connected so what happens?
@CalebHead-v5j Says:
Pocket Dimension.
@Magicalpickel203 Says:
what of you step into a orange portal without a blue one? or somehow fold the blue one in half where the back is the outside and then make a material that literally can’t break and use it as a strap to keep the blue one folded. and then stick it in the orange one?
