portal gun

Handheld wormhole generator

A portal gun is a fictional weapon from the video game Portal that creates linked doorways on surfaces—enter one portal and exit the other, regardless of distance between them.

The concept has become a popular thought experiment about physics and teleportation: If you had a portal gun, where would you put the portals?
