Could A Portal Gun End All Life On Earth? (Because Science w/ Kyle Hill) 

Could you burn someone's house down, with the lemons? New MINI EP over on my Insta (instagram.com/sci_Phile/). Thanks for watching...you monsters. -- KH

Ah yes my favorite series: portal gun

"The confection is a falsehood"

Everyone else: "The cake is a lie." Him, an intellectual: "The confection is a falsehood."

Rules of portal gun: -DO NOT shoot portal to the moon

4:55 **Casually shoves dead bird into pocket**

So, if we dropped the Wardrobe, from Narnia into the deepest part of the ocean, how long before we drained the planet. Would Narnia flood?

Why aren't you impressed by the voice? THAT TOOK A LOT OF EFFORT JEEZ. Next week, the definitive life cycle (hopefully maybe) of a famous movie monster. -- KH

I'm more interested in the portal gun that can maintain an active portal for 2 million years!

what about a portal to the surface of the sun? or the bottom of the ocean? :)

According to portal, the gun costs 400 million dollars if im right. So..... Its a thing my broke ass will never buy

Wouldn't it be easier (and cheaper, btw) to shoot a portal in your room BEFORE flying to japan? lol

But why would you fly to Japan and back when you could just put the first portal in your living room and make it a one-way trip? O_o

0:00 - 0:05 I didn't realise there was a game called 'Portal Gun'! 'Tis but a joke for all you literal folks

You didn't consider that moon has it's own gravity. It will form a lunar atmosphere and in some millenia the system will be in pressure balance beetween earth and moon probably.

But... the object falling through the portals constantly gains momentum from gravity... Air resistance won't stop it, but will limit it's velocity.

*The "Kyle is Wrong!" FAQ* (In progress...) 1. Once again, you nerds are more concerned with the last 30 seconds! But let me admit, I think many of you are right about the ceiling/floor portal possibly being a perpetual motion situation, specifically because you are violating the conservation of energy by continuously adding gravitational potential energy for free. However, you WOULD slow down to terminal velocity, and maybe even to ZERO, because once you leave the ceiling portal the gravity of the Earth it leads to would pull you towards it just like the Earth below you (if light goes through, why not gravity?). OR entering a portal could just magically cancel out any gravitational potential energy from a portal you haven't entered. Now we're thinking with portals. 2. Adding CO2 to the atmosphere will air leaks out would still lead to decreased O2 concentration over time and kill us, but given that plants could still use this gas to produce O2, global warming would still be the quicker demise, certainly less than 2,000,000 years. --KH

soooo... according to this intro, the game is called "Portal Gun."

If I had a portal gun, I'd make free energy. I'd have my choice of at least hydro-power and electromagnetic power. Edited to add that Kyle is wrong at the end. Yes, friction would slow things down, but gravity would speed it back up. The object would settle in at a constant speed over time.

I want the cake is a lie: The Cake Is A Lie No I Mean The Real Cake Is A Lie: The confection is a falsehood *PERFECTION*

So wait is this RU-vid channel a guy talking about cool stuff behind some clean ass glass Sub

Surely the area of a portal would have to be bigger than a square metre? Like closer to 2 square metres if you look at them seeing as you have to go through horizontally as well as vertically. Like maybe a 2x1 ellipse? That comes out to about 1.6 square metres which would increase the flow rate by 60%

"We'd be STILL ALIVE" I caught that, and I laughed.

*H O W K I R B Y C A N S U C C G O O D*

The real question is how did Chell’s arm not get ripped off

I have a question What would happen if you shoot an Orange portal in a box than close the box and throw it inside Blue Portal ? . . Or this imgur.com/a/dr7c1 . . ERROR404 XD

If you stack portals though, the gravity is going to constantly out power the air resistance. So it doesn't matter that you have friction/air resistance, your motion will never stop due to gravity. Right?

A question: wouldn't at some point Moon start forming its own atmosfere with the air taken from Earth? And if this assumption is right (I have no clue if it is), wouldn't the pressure equilise after a while?

After the credits you forgot that there's gravity that accelerates the object towards the bottom portal. And you speak as if the air resistance would slow down the object to a complete stop despite gravity. Plus this is the physics of Portal, not actual physics so since the portal are free to make a maintain they allow for such a thing...

I thought the game was called "Portal" not "Portal Guns"

#Theconfectionisafalsehood

Why would you not shoot a portal in your living room first you could save yourself a flight back? XD Love Ya, And Love Because Science

There's a game called Portal Gun?

But technically wouldn't an atmosphere start to form on the moon while air leaks through the portal? And it'd stop leaking once the atmosphere of both the earth and the moon would have the same pressure? And since as you explained we're creating more CO2 than hundreds of portals could possibly leak out to the moon, wouldn't this be an amazing way to just simply create an atmosphere on the moon? Or is the moon not massive enough to actually hold an atmosphere? ... SO MANY QUESTIONS!

“What would you do if you had a portal gun from the game of the same name?” The video game wasn’t called portal gun it was called portal or portal 2

What if you shot a portal to the sun?

how about those light bridges? could you compress photons in a way that you can stand on them?

Will Kyle ever get a haircut?

"The confection is a falsehood." That broke me. 😂😂😂

I asked this to my physics teacher and then he said that I was stupid :p

thanks because science. when you said the portal would suck air at mack 1 i made the kirby inhale sound.......then you said like in kirby episode, niiiice.

This guy is like White Cisco

Lines like "the confection is a falsehood" are tge reason I'm subscribed to this channel.

Woah

**on the next mission to the moon** John:Mike why are we accelerating Mike:the engine says theres air interfering with it John:wait,what!? DAMN YOU CHELL

so we should have portals behind cars for exemple to throw all the co2 in space as soon as we create it

In the "after credits" Kyle said that an object going through 2 portalts placed above eachother would no be a perpetual motion machine because it would experience air friction. What about *GRAVITY*?

9:00 Somebody actually did that and posted it on RU-vid. It's trippy.

If someone would Shoot a Portal on The moon we would have a new Ozon Hole... I think Greta Thunberg wouldnt Like it lol...

why cant we just block the portal by throwing stuff in it .

could you explain that why Ezio's leap of faith doesn't kill him and is so damn accurate. I don't think eagle vision or the bleeding effect can be explained. what about the memory ! do the animus!!

Hey Kyle because the portal gun is bridging a gap between to points and space and bringing them close together wouldn't the forces produced by the moon via the portal have other effects? Would the moons forces start disrupting our planetary rotation or orbit? Force sea levels to rise and a host of other issues that could destroy humanity?

okay iam new to this channel.. but 1 question: are you writing everything mirrored at the glas plate??? xD if so.. thats impressive :D^^

"The confection is a flasehood" Love it!!!

Look at me still talking when there's Science to do When I look out there It makes me GLaD I'm not you I've experiments to run There is research to be done On the people who are Still alive.

Cake

SUCC

7:36 Wait no, Still Alive is at the end of Portal (the first one)... Badum tsh

Ahhh yes the game: Portal Gun

God I love this channel. I feel like I’ve learned so much from Kyle!

Hey. since the moon has gravity, wouldn't the atmosphere collect around the moon and the pressure would equal out?

do the gravity gun next nerdist

Couldn't wolverine spend an "X" amount of time working out and potentially become infinitely strong only restricted by life time and food energy? thumbs up if you agree so he can see this and explain it please?

Wouldn't the air get mostly blown back to earth? The moon is tidally locked, after all.

Since the moon portal is pointed directly at the Earth, would the air come back? How much air would be affected by the Earth's gravity and stay a while, before going back through the portal? How much time would that add to the 2 million years?

SPACE!SPACE!SPACE!

You're forgetting that the moon's gravity would stop all the air escaping. For the same reason that Earth's atmosphere doesn't just float off into space, it wouldn't do so on the moon either. Another thing, regarding the ending: yes, the object will encounter air resistance, but it's still falling. Forever. It would hit terminal velocity, but it won't stop. So yes, that is technically perpetual motion. It's just going to fall forever and never land anywhere.

But wouldn't the building collapse around the portal and block it, so the air wouldn't be emptying into space.

The earth naturally looses atmosphere to space all the time. Don't need portals. That confection is not a falsehood.

But all the air wouldn't go to the Moon, isn't it? It just would suck enough air to create an atmosphere on the Moon, reaching a balance between air in the Moon and the Earth acording to their respective gravitational pulls.

"The confection is a falsehood". Good stuff Kyle

I spent the whole video wondering how the hell you wrote so neatly with both hands, and backwards.

1:45 that “Sound” really sounds like as if he was about to sing All Star

but... this oxygen in carbon dioxide comes from the atmosphere... also... atmosphere wouldn't make an object stop falling... it'd reach its terminal velocity and then stop accelerating and the speed would remain the same, and... how about putting these portals in the vacuum, object would be constantly accelerating, but slower and slower until it would stop accelerating when it reached speed very close to the speed of light (it can't go faster because energy needed to accelerate it even more would be infinite, it would only get really close)

1:32 that sounds so wrong

But in that 2 million years wouldn't humans have adapted to the slow change of pressure and air and would it be possible that humans would evolve to not need air to breathe?

Nerdy science video turned PSA

I never understand the point "Human impact/human emissions isn't a big deal". Let's propose that human impact is less than "natural" impact (some people agree with that, some not - for now let's just leave it). For example, let's compare Earth to the human with the disease. His body tries to fix itself and disease tries to overtake it. It can be a tough and long fight. The doctor can help and treat this person, leave it alone or make everything a bit worse by give to this person bad food, place this person in the bad/polluted environment and etc. With the Earth, we do basically the same. We definitely not helping it, we definitely not "leave it alone" and we only make things worse. How couldn't this be a problem? The main difference between human and bug - we can think about long term perspective. Also, just look at Clair Cameron Patterson. Before he began his researches majority of people on Earth was saying that the tetraethyl lead level is okay/natural, not dangerous and humans activity have nothing to do with it. But if Patterson just believes them and forget about his researches - we would have very BIG problems now.

Not done watching the video but if you don't close the portal wouldn't the earth's atmosphere just be the moons atmosphere because of its gravity?

He should make a video about what the Rick and Morty portal gun would be like in real life

What you didn’t take into account is that the Moon also has a gravitational force and eventually it would stabilize.

can gravity travel through a portal

Ok, so my question is how was Chell able to survive being sucked into space after Glados saved her?

but. at a moment, the moon will have an atmosphère at the same pressure than the earth and the processus will stop no ?

Could you end all life on Earth? Experiment time. *That could be taken two different ways.*

What vocoder did you use for the sentry voice!! Pls tell meee

Last one is false. Gravity is stronger then air resistance. So it would speed up till the air resistance kicks in

If I had a portal gun, I would just never open a portal to outer space, just to places around the world from time to time.

Your answer at the end is wrong because gravity and terminal velocity.

what if you would have a portal to suck all teh karbon we produce into space

What about if you used the portal gun on Mars to Venus, or Earth to Venus ?

Why would you want 100,s of boiled cats in your house

Took me 3 minutes to start the video because I didn't want to watch an ad for apple

Im pretty sure nothing would ever really happen, since the whole vegetation would reproduce much more O2 than being sucked out... Although CO2 is sucked out aswell, and therefor plants can make less O2, and now my argument is invalid 😂

I didn't know Thor was smart...

“Could a portal gun end the world?” If you put a portal within a portal, the portal 1 would be pulled into portal 2 and once portal 1 comes out of portal 2, portal 2 would go inside portal 1 and vice versa and thus creating a black hole as the portals are going in and coming out of each other, compressing both of them and thus creating a black hole. In layman's terms: Portal 1 go in, portal 1 come out, portal 2 go in, portal 2 come out. Big nothingness hole

except no. It's expensive to pump air in from the surface. As such, the Aperture Science Subterranean Laboratory Complex recycles its air. eventually, the air in the lab will run out, and become a vacuum.

Your last answer with the portals stacked on top of each other is incorrect because; gravity. The air resistance wouldn't matter because gravity would still be acting on the object until it reaches the next portal which means that it would, in fact, become a perpetual motion device.

But Kyle, wouldn't air being ejected on the moon just accumulate around it, effectively creating an atmosphere on the moon? Or since it's being ejected at mach 1 would it just spew out into space and be lost forever?

Could we technically add oxygen to Mars this way? Do it little by little, close portal, open portal close portal, etc... Earth will replenish its air supply via the plants, and Mars will have air.. Or will the air just escape mars and its a waste of time?
