does anti-matter have anti-gravity?

[GraceG]

This could explain all the weirdness in the report on Serpo and it’s weird “gravitational properties”, but then again Serpo is probably bunk.

Why would this virtual charge need to be uniform throughout the Universe? Depending on the quantum perturbation of local space-time, the disposition of this charge could vary by region.

This would play well into Hawking's "black hole radiation" theory.

I like it.

Makes a lot more sense than some Unobtanium substance we haven't ever seen and might not be able to find.

But a well-established notion in physics could hold another explanation for their size. This says that empty space is really a frothy, turbulent sea full of virtual particles - matter and antimatter that spring in and out of existence so fast that we can't see them.

Let’s do the time warp again.

We are back to the days of spontaneous creation. .

"Dark Matter" ... Makes sense to me that space objects can have separation velocities greater than the speed of light.

Massive things are out there, but visibllity depends on relative velocities.

I see nothing here that I didn’t suspect from the beginning, at last they are waking up to what I knew all along..........or something like that!

Maybe this sort of thing explains the mass insanity/delusion/stupidity engulfing our dear nation these days? These weird particles have ripped apart the time-space continuum and thus NASA is doing muslim outreach, TSA agents are groping grannies and infants and we’re discussing minting trillion dollar coins?

Just a thought.

Isn't amazing what you can get a computer model to come up with. Now how about putting the keyboard down and going outside and make some real observations.

Here we go again with the “in and out of existence spontaneously” mantra.

Anybody who can’t see that is impossible, shouldn’t be a scientist.

First principle of rational thinking, is that something either exists OR doesn’t exist.

Aristotle: The law of non-contradiction. If someone denies that, it is impossible to have a rational conversation with him.

Just occurred to me that the media play the part of Eris perfectly - sowing discord among the enemies of socialism.

“Many galaxies appear to have stronger gravity - and thus more mass - than can be explained by their visible matter alone.”

I recall reading a sci-fi book that where many of the dwarf suns are actually bigger suns being seen through dyson spheres.
