How to Understand the Physics of Portal

Portal, a Sci-fi puzzle-platform game released by Valve in 2007 for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, Playstation 3 (and more recently, Mac OS X), offers a very unique approach to gaming. Instead of outwitting an enemy with sheer force and firepower, you must complete puzzle games and use your brain to win. You do this with the aid of the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device (ASHPD, also known as a "portal gun"): a device that can create inter-spatial portals between flat planes.

While the game is designed in a way to help you understand the concept of portals, it can still be a difficult idea to grasp, as it is a completely new way of thinking that humans have never had to use before. That, perhaps, is how you ended up here.
