Portal Paradox
(lemmy.world)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Both portals should the same size. Fitting one in a box, means the box should be too big to fit in the other portal.
They're ellipses. You put one on its side and it fits through.
If portals were circular, that would be true, but they're oval.
The box contains the oval, and by definition cannot fit inside the thing it contains.
You should try it with paper cut-outs.
It isn't shown explicitly, but notice in the last panel with the box, the box is much wider and much shorter. It was rotated 90°.
