    Is the backside of a portal transparent? I thought it might connect to the backside of the other portal…

      What are you talking about?

      Science isn’t about WHY! It’s about WHY NOT! In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won’t hit you in the butt on the way out because you’re fired.

          They can only exist on specific non transparent walls.

            But they also only exist in a video game… I was just giving a way it could be on a flat surface and still be seen from this side. Stop taking life so seriously :)
