The Darker SECRET Experiments of Aperture | Test Shaft 09 | FULL Portal Lore

The mysteries of Test Shaft 09 were sealed away from the public after many of the participants within disappeared, without a trace. The CEO of Aperture, Cave Johnson, wanted to "do science" without government interference, however, these experiments into teleportation, time travel and volatile materials were extremely unethical and dangerous.

What made these tests so horrendous that their chambers were sealed away? What was the worst? And do any of these experiments mirror our reality? In this video, we explore the lore and story behind Aperture’s secret experiments.
