In this deep-dive gaming science video, I look at the structural decay of Aperture Science to figure out the exact date and timeline of Portal 2. By looking closely at the environmental design and assets left behind after GLaDOS, the physical evidence tells a completely different story than the official lore told from the developers, I talk about the absolute limits of modern reinforced concrete, paper acid hydrolysis, the self-discharge rate of lithium batteries, and the science of industrial cardboard boxes. All this evidence seems to point to a completely different timeline than what the developers said.
