This is all irrelevant, portals can't be placed on moving objects.

that is a game engine limitation, not an in-universe physics limitation.

B) The train transfers momentum to the things that pass through the portal. If it wouldn't, the portal couldn't exist since you need a certain amount of energy to displace the air on the other end.

Dont they need to be hovering mid air for either to happen? I am trying to imagine how would a moving portal teleport a person laying down without teleporting the ground beneath him. I think neither a or b would happen, I think they would be draggen on the ground and splattered, but if I HAVE to choose, I say A is more likely. Because they are laying and not hovering I dont think they will be launched.

Can someone put this in a lambda function for me so I can kill myself trying to figure it out?

This is my favorite post in a while.

Thank you!

Truthfully it was pretty low effort to make, but I appreciate it anyways.

This reminds me of when somebody set up the Trolley Problem for their toddler with those little wooden toy trains. The kid put the one guy on the track with the several guys and then plowed through all of them with glee.

B.

Speedy thing goes in. Speedy thing comes out.

Although it kind of depends how fast the tram is going.
