Can you see through them? most, yes
What about gravity? Each side is seperate from the other.
If you open one up horzontally under a person, would they fall through, or find themselves floating? They would get pushed aside from the rift.
What if you opened a portal with a local opening that was verticle (like a door), but the remote opening was horizontal on a high grav world, would people in front of the local opening be pulled through? Gravity does not come through a magic portal or rift.
Also, it says that something unwanted usually gets through. Is there a table for this? yes, but the GM who made it hasn't been published in Rifter yet.
And wouldn't it only apply to remote locations where there is something unwanted that could get through in the first place? Meaning, if you opened the remote gateway into an empty, locked jail cell, there's nothing there to try to sneak through - or is it some thing from random locations magically slipping through your portal (like an unwanted shortcut)? The meaning is that there are alot of things that would just love to be in a magic rich enviroment, and they can sense it from the other side so they are drawn tot he portal and will go through if they can. Some are as simple as portergists, while others want to use the power to take over things. Not all of them are physical beings nor are all of them intelegent.

May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.

There is some kind of membrane that seperates the two worlds. Otherwise, the atmopshere would have been long ago blown off the planet by a rift which opened up to Mars or into space. Also, water and alien atmopheres don't spill over onto Earth.

If that doesn't prompt you to buy it, I don't know what else I can say.

Probably for Game Play than for anything else, usually environmental conditions in the other world don't go through Rifts.
However, there is a spell that allows Sorcerors to get a feel for conditions for the other side of the Rift; based upon that Spell, as well as the fact that millions upon millions of unsuspecting creatures die all the time when rifting into a lifeform-hostile environment (the Dead Pools on Rifts Earth being just one instance), I'd say that you do NOT normally get to see what's on the other side of a dimesnional Rift.

I agree. Otherwise the shifter responsible for the mechanoids coming to Rifts Earth would have closed the rift once him, Hagan, and/or Archie saw that there was some sort of fight on the other side.
