    I guess the question becomes if one portal is in a box, what happens to the box? Does the whole process just get blocked after the first few inches as the outside of the box collides with the inside; does it push itself open; do the portals just slice though and turn the pieces of box in the way into confetti?

      Just came here to check whether someone already posted the minutephysics video.

      I think their explanation is rather good for passing portals through themselves. The box doesn’t add much to the equation: it is just physical objects smashed into eachother…
