#PORTAL RELOADED CHAMBER 9 ACTIVATOR#

Time travels in Portal Reloaded never happened. Quantum physics isn't much better than infinite multiverse theories.Īn 'infinite multiverse' antagonistic theory, but with the same outcome: the universe is fully deterministic and the ability of the test subject to travel to the future through time portals is the only possible way for the universe to exist.Īnd the last theory - the time portal is a lie. I personally absolutely hate all those infinite multiverse theories and find them extremely dull, not to mention how they don't really answer/solve anything, and contradict a lot of laws of physics.Ī somewhat better explanation could've been some quantum physics related theories where the fact that being an observer or not changes the laws of physics (just like in case with light interference experiments where the light acts as a particle or as a wave depending on whether it's being observed or not). The infinite multiverse where the test subject is in such a timeline where the timeline itself dictates (in a deterministic way) whether the test subject can or cannot travel through time portals. This leaves us with another possible answer. The problem with that theory is that the test subject jumps through time portals before she gets the portal gun.

It's construction could've somehow saved it's wielder and other contacting objects from the time traveling paradoxes. The simple answer could've been the portal gun itself. The obvious question is however: what determines which physical objects don't need to exist in the past to be able to exist in the future? For example why can the test subject carry her jump boots through the time portal but not the cube? HeimlichLaboratories' answer how 'the test subject doesn't need to exist in the past to be able to exist in the future' is the only possible explanation as to why she doesn't cease to exist while traveling via time portals. So, in other words, do you mean that being an observer grants you the ability to travel through time portals freely? Or do you mean that there is a 'third' time line that is taken into the account which can exist only when the test subject leaves the facility without the cube/other object? What I mean is that static objects like cubes and portals have two different versions, Present and Future, because they didn't move for 20 years (unless the subject moves them) and the test subject, since they story wise beat the test chamber, don't have a future version that requires them to be always in the past for it to exist.Ībout my initial question regarding the test subject's ability to travel via time portals. However, story wise the player did leave the testchamber, so that's why there's not a future version of them, because the subject didn't just wait there for 20 years, and they don't need a present version to exist because the present version is the only version. Place a portal on the floor where the cube is in the present, and then a portal on the panel that turned with the activation of the button, across from you.Originally posted by HeimlichLaboratories:I think because the cube is static and never moves or leaves the testchamber, which means that removing the cube from the past automatically means that there's no cube for the future cube to exist. Make sure to place a portal on the ground before the cube hits it, as it has the tendency to bounce away. Kindly, move the excursion funnel, so that the cube drops, and then quickly shoot a portal in the floor to raise it up again.

The second cube that you placed in the funnel will hit the activator switch, and it will go into the future and drop down. When you went through the fourth laser gate, click the button to get a time portal next to you, and to turn the panel that is in front of you. This will be a checkpoint, so if you need a reset, just jump in the body of water. This will open the fourth laser gate on Chamber 25. Position it, so that it hits the activator which is on the ceiling. After that, go through the third laser gate in the stage, and place a portal in a way which will allow the reflector cube to go up to the ceiling.
