What happens if you put a portal in a portal? [YouTube, 21min] ...this is my solution to this problem and in this video we will see what's inside of this, what a portal is, how portals can move, how it works, why there is no singularity and what will happen to the object inside ... For this video I wrote a program called Portal Explorer that draws portals using ray tracing. In Portal Explorer, you can put a portal into another portal and explore everything shown in this video by yourself!
They're not the first to think that would work with a Bag of Holding. Just saying.

Every meme which came to mind when I read the main page blurb had already been made before I clicked [more inside].
Great minds think alike. And so do we!

I always start thinking of how force would work on objects with portals
Like if you are holding a board with a portal on it and you swing it around, how does it feel if someone starts extending like a telephone pole out of your mobile board portal? (what if they are lowering other other portal that is also on a mobile board ontop of an existing pole)
Like that pole is now whipping around but it is not touching your portal, so how would the forces work out?
