    There is a guy on YouTube that simulates portals using real physics and science stuff, turns out that if you model the gravity on all sides of the portal it balances out and you would stop right in the middle of the two portals at least if they were perfectly over each other in a case like this you would stop somewhere in the middle of the slide because the gravity would travel between both portals

      Didn’t one of his other videos conclude with something about an object falling infinitely though portals causes them to accumulate opposing positive and negative masses and eventually turn into a black hole?

        Not as far as I’ve seen, it’s possible he did more simulations but in the type he was doing infinite falling didn’t happen or I think technically it did once until he turned on air resistance.
