Yes, but only technically so because those distances and angles change outside of the portal.
Ah, so you’re saying Portals are not flat paintings, they’re flat TV screens which project a representation of the universe behind them like based on where the observer is. Upon impact with an object they then store the objects momentum relative to the TV screen, teleport the object to another point in the universe, and then transfer the momentum to the teleported object. Got it!
One minor inconsistency is that in the Portal universe, objects transition smoothly through portals and can stop halfway through. But that’s okay since we’re just making shit up anyway.
This is why an object that is moved through a portal has momentum, but an object that a portal is moved over does not, the two scenarios are not the same when you have a frame of reference that includes the space on the other side of the portal.
Circular argument. You’re using your preferred conclusion as evidence for your flawed reasoning.
They are the same if you ignore that space in your frame of reference, but then any conclusion you come to about things outside that frame of reference are invalid.
Velocity is a relative property between two objects. There’s no “I’m moving toward the portal, therefore I have momentum” versus “The portal is coming toward me, therefore I have no momentum”.

Nope, they aren’t flat screens either. They are shortcuts in space. How many more times will I need to state this for you?
It’s okay, we can terminate this interaction here.
Agreed.
