See the full Portal Walkthrough here: goo.gl âžœ Portal Walkthrough â–¼ Portal: Chapter 11 Portal vs. Lewis as he takes on this mind bending game where he will have to work through brain aching test chambers only to see that the puzzles get harder and harder. As a general note, Lewis has no idea what he is doing as he has never played the game before. Expect him to get stuck! Enjoy. â–ºPortalâ–¼ Portal takes place in the Enrichment Center for Aperture Laboratoriesâ€"also known as Aperture Scienceâ€"which is the fictional research corporation responsible for the creation of the portal gun. According to information presented in Portal 2, the location of the complex is in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Information about the company, developed by Valve for creating the setting of the game, is revealed during the game and via the real-world promotional website. According to the Aperture Science Web site, Cave Johnson founded the company in 1953 for the sole purp ose of making shower curtains for the US military. However, after becoming mentally unstable from lunar poisoning in 1978, Johnson created a three-tier research and development plan to make his organization successful. The first two tiers, the Counter-Heimlich Maneuver (a maneuver designed to ensure choking) and the Take-A-Wish Foundation (a program to give the wishes of dying children to unrelated, entirely healthy adults), were commercial failures and led to an investigation of the company by the US Senate. However, when ...
Science and magic are two separate entities, right? For example, with science fair projects you are wanting to be precise and aim at explaining phenomenon and finding answers, whereas "magic" and magic tricks leave you with more questions than answers and your mind boggles as to how what you have just seen can be possible. Right?
Well, lets think about it...
With science, which obviously includes science fair projects, the people involved are only too pleased to share their findings as it will improve life on earth in some way. For example, Mr. Edison did not keep quiet about his light bulb discovery, and now we all have instant light. Watson and Crick told the world about the double helix structure of DNA, which resulted in amazing advances in understanding biology as a whole and the positive spinoffs are more to mention in this article.
Magicians are not so keen to share information as to how their tricks work. Not knowing how a trick works is wha t makes it amazing and essentially magic.
There is no getting away from the fact that top magicians are talented in their slight of hand and their ability to entertain, but many of the "tricks"can be explained through science. Use of mirrors and visual illusions (what scientists call physics) are part and parcel of magic shows.
Unfortunately I do not have the talent to be a magician, but I do have a scientific knowledge to explain some "magic". The real talent of a magician, or should we call him a "entertainment scientist", is to hide the scientific phenomenon used to do the trick. So, although I cannot explain some of the tricks because of this cleverness, I can use science to do some very simple magic.
So what is the reason for me writing this article? Is it to expose magicians? Certainly not. As I have said, they are highly talented and indeed intellectual people who know science. The reason is so that young people will see science as exciting.
I guess now you are expecting me to tell you a magic trick so that you can entertain at the same time as you are doing science fair projects? Well, I have run out of space in this article and what I really want is for you, by using your scientific knowledge, to be excited about science and to work out some magic tricks yourself.
Just do science - or should I say magic!
