1) Consider this: Both Black Mesa and Aperture were developing
teleportation technology. On one side, Black Mesa's teleportation
was in its early infancy. The teleportation test device was an
enormous several-stories-high thing that required enormous amounts
of energy, special materials, and barely worked. In one of the tests
it failed spectacularly, causing the resonance cascade. No actual
applications of this prototype teleportation device have ever been
shown.

  On the other side Aperture's version of the teleportation was
centuries ahead technologically. A small, light-weight portable
teleportation device which is safe to use and has never been seen
to fail, and which can create teleports over enormous distances
(even as far as the Moon). The applications are humongous.

  Yet it's established in the Portal universe that the government
chose Black Mesa over Aperture for developing their teleportation
technology for military purposes. This seems inconceivable.

  My theory: The Half-Life games and the Portal games are happening
in different universes. In the Half-Life universe there is a company
named Aperture, but it's not the same as the one in the Portal universe,
and vice-versa. In the Portal universe Black Mesa is at least as advanced,
if not even more, than Aperture. In the Half-Life universe Aperture is
less advanced than Black Mesa.

  (Of course Episode 3, if it ever comes, will probably contradict this
theory, but until then...)


  2) Consider Chell in Portal 1:

  And in Portal 2:

  My theory: Wheatley commissioned some extensive plastic surgery on her
while she was in stasis.
