And since the trolly is not moving when it hits the portal (it's the portal moving towards it instead) we can assume the result would be A.
Yeah I did lol.
Does it really work like that? I'm not the best at physics.
Yeah, Galilean Relativity, all inertial reference frames are equal. (So are non-intertials, but that's Einstein, took us a few more centuries)
I am entertained. I love thinking about weird fantasy logic and how it would act based on the real world.
Of course if the portal were red, it would go fasta.
It is blue-shifting though
It's A in practice because source physics, but it should be B.
I recall that there’s only one scene in Portal 2 that lets the portal move and that’s pretty much scripted IIRC.
Two if you count the moon as moving relative to the Earth, but yeah.
Instead of making faces of shock at their impending demise, they are making faces of awe
I feel it would be A. Because only the top piston is moving and it never gets a chance to transfer energy to the trolly
Imagine staring into the blue portal as this happens. Through the trolley windows, you see the piston, approaching you at high speeds. It hits the trolley, pushing it at the same speed through the portal. Under A, the trolley has to suddenly slow down as it passes through the portal, but that results in the back end moving faster than the front, crumpling the trolley into a pancake.
Then imagine me tackling you out of the way because the answer is B and you're staring into the blue portal.
