Bear in mind, you would not know what was on the other side (instant death maybe), or whether you could get back.
Would you step through, or just let it close again, and spend the rest of your life wondering...?

Very interesting question... it gets to the heart of people's beliefs...
I am not necessarily talking about God. No, I am talking about whether people believe in circumstance, fate, destiny... meaning.
My initial reaction, as would most people's, would be "What the hell is that?"
A normal response, wouldn't you agree?
Then after? Well, that depends on the individual, and their beliefs (as mentioned above).
There are over six and a half billion people on this planet so I would be thinking, "Why me? Why did it choose me?"
In that respect, personally, I would be inclined to think if such a thing opened up before me, it was meant to be - a purposeful thing if you will.
I would be too over-awed to be scared, and while hesitant at first, my intrigue would win over my cowardice: I would step through.
It would simply be something too great to ignore, and while instant death is a possibility, the "not knowing" aspect would be a bigger killer - something that would eat away at me all my life.
We all die right, so why not die experiencing something that no human has experienced before - even if it is for five seconds?
I understand many will be scared, I understand many will think of their families, and have fear of the unknown; maybe some have faith in their God to guide them away from the "evil portal" (but how do they know this isn't their God's work?).
I, on the other hand, have no family or friends so would rather take that leap than spend my life wondering.
Maybe my circumstances influence my answer, but that is the point I am making about people and their beliefs... and I reiterate, this is a very interesting question - almost some kind of psychology test...

Please do research on "The Lordsburg Gate" (sometimes referred as the door) - seems to be allowing anything in!
Consider the story of James Worson -
- In Leamington Spa, England, UK, in 1873, James Worson, a shoemaker bet his friends that he could run from his hometown to Coventry and back again, a total distance of 16 miles.
Worson set out on his run, jogging at a steady pace, with three of his friends following in a cart. After a few miles down the road, Worson suddenly stumbled, began to pitch forward and disappeared forever with a piercing scream.
The three friends searched frantically for him, but no trace of Worson was ever found again- his footprints just stopped.
If a wormhole did open between two areas of the universe - what is the liklehood of both ends being on a planet's surface ? - Most likely to be an unknown point in space - not a pleasant prospect, so - no thanks.

I'd use the opportunity to get rid of my trash and old odds & ends I don't need anymore.

Depends. My guardian angels would tell me if it was safe to explore what's beyond. But I'd rather not and say I did just to be on the safe side. I've seen enough in my life to know that being extra safe isn't a bad thing.

No I would not step through something that appears to be a portal. Perhaps I would write down my name with the date and time on a piece of paper and throw it through, but I would not consign my fate to a portal's whim.

No...I wouldn't. I don't even know what's on the other side of this internet. I'm SURE not jumping into a hole in space. I don't even go to My Space. I'm a fraidy cat!! The reason I'm answering this question is to get the 2 pts..BECAUSE ...I'm stuck on that BAAAAD number and I've got to get off it..especially before the New Year!! That means I can't ask any more questions until I'm far far away from it. Hope ya'll can hold down the fort while I'm away!! lol
