Look at it, sitting up there. I bet it thinks it's better than you. Not for long!
What do I need to do?
Remember that orange portals are not exit-only.
Hmm...
You can walk through an orange portal to emerge from a blue portal.
Help me out.
Shoot a blue portal somewhere you can reach to get up onto the raised platform, if you aren't already on it. Next, shoot a portal onto the wall behind the other cube, then walk back through the orange one.
You can then put the cube onto the other button to unlock the next room.
