No. Of course not. There is no such thing as a portal. It was simply just a mirror.

What is more reflective toward radiation mirror or aluminum foil?
I would have to say aluminum foil, since radiation can travel through glass. radiation is reflected from the surface of aluminum foil. With a mirror the radiation has to travel through a small layer of glass twice before the mirror is finished with it. Glass is not totally transparent, some light is absorbed so the naked aluminum reflects better.
Can an appendix be found on the left?
If you go through the looking glass maybe.
Will breaking a mirror result in a product with new chemical properties?

What does the curved mirror on a telescope do?
The mirror in a telescope is a concave mirror. That shape redirects all the light coming from a distant object that hits the mirror into a focusing lens. The mirror may be as small as several inches or many feet in diameter and it concentrates the light so it can be focused by a small eyepiece that may be only a fraction of an inch in diameter. The mirror serves the same purpose as a large lens in a refractive telescope. It takes a large cross section of light and focuses it into the eyepiece of the telescope but it does it by reflection rather than refraction. The reflective mirror is preferred over a lens for several reasons. The light reflected by a good quality silvered mirror loses very little of its intensity. Light passing through a lens loses intensity each time it passes through a glass surface and it must pass through 2 surfaces of a lens. The mirror bends the light one time and a lens bends it twice. The more times you bend light, the more chance you have to introduce distortion because of imperfections of the surface. If the glass of a lens is not ultra pure and without imperfection, the light is further distorted. The quality of glass in a mirror does not affect the light because the light does not pass through the mirror because the light is reflected off the first surface. When very large telescopes are involved, a refraction lens would weigh many times what the reflective mirror weighs.
Why you use mirrors as reflectors and not alluminium?
Nearly all modern mirrors are aluminum. An aluminum coating is placed on a sheet of polished glass. In common mirrors we observe this aluminum reflector through the glass layer. But if we turn the mirror around, we can bounce light directly off the aluminum, and this is called a "front surface mirror." (Common mirrors have a coating of hard paint over the thin delicate aluminum coating to prevent scratches.) It's perfectly possible to form a mirror by grinding and polishing a thick aluminum slab. But aluminum is softer than glass, and would collect scratches and dings. Also, aluminum is expensive, so an aluminum mirror costing several dollars might replace a glass mirror costing a few cents.
