In 1996, after the purchase of the A-Sync Research Institute by Cave Johnson and the renaming of the company to Aperture-Sync, the rivalry with Black Mesa reached a new level. Both companies tried to achieve great results with teleportation. In the course of research, it was revealed that there are a huge number of parallel dimensions intersecting with our world. There was a theory that all of them are nothing more than the layers of the original universe or "Center of Worlds". Ultimately, both …

Core related theory: The portal 1 cores are the portal 2 cores. Here’s how: The cores got burnt in Portal 1… but GLaDOS said all aperture stuff is functional up to 4000 degrees kelvin, not to mention that GLaDOS is STILL ALIVE after she apparently got thrown into a incinerator. So if the cores got thrown into the incinerator, they will likely still be functional, but damaged… and so they got replacement parts and look like they do in portal 2… some are replacement personalities too. But that’s…
