When I was thinking about physical borders yesterday, one topic that came into my mind was our very university: NYU, which is set across borders — strictly speaking, 15 of them. To connect all of them, why don’t we erect a portal at each campus? I am tired of flying on intercontinental flights ten times a year😉.
This drawing of the portal was made by Canva. I used a model of the iconic Washington Square Arch as the main structure. The departure times were also chosen in a way assuming that portal crossing is instantaneous. The users would not end up at their destination during early morning or late night.
In addition, there has always been a superstition (though not true) that someone walking under the Washington Square Arch would fail courses and not graduate. In this way however it also prevents anybody to walk literally “under” it 😹.
By the way, the portal site at NYU Abu Dhabi, as you can see from the picture, is located at the construction site at the west of our campus. Since I don’t really know what project is currently going on there, so why not let it be a portal?
