Thanks as always for your support,

Good point! If the object exits at an angle that changes with the portal, wouldn't that also suggest it's velocity vector is defined relative to that portal? Perhaps this is another way to test the paradox.

Thanks. Looks like it doesn´t run on firefox. I tried a diferent browser and it´s working.

4:04 well a question that precedes this one is what happens when an object enters a stationary portal at an angle, rather than straight in? I don't play the game but this is actually testable, yes? Does it exit the other portal at an angle? If so it means the portals have an intrinsic top/bottom/left/right. If you rotated a portal around an axis pointing straight into the portal, it would be different. The object would exit similarly rotated. Empirically is that what we see in the game?

Hate to burst your bubble but Sean Carroll already answered this question on Destiny's podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=531FKCzTX40&t=2758

They say that they're in general available worldwide but some programs are limited to certain countries.
