What is the current scientific consensus on the gravitational force between matter and antimatter. Is it repulsive, attractive or zero?
But, we've made antimatter... didn't anybody notice if the stuff tended to fall down, or up ?Yes, it is clearly predicted to be attractive, but this has not been experimentally tested yet.
No. The antimatter that we have made is charged and it is hard to get a region where the EM field is so small that you can see which way it falls under just gravity.But, we've made antimatter... didn't anybody notice if the stuff tended to fall down, or up ?
Actually, we have made neutral antimatter, but I think that their gravitational properties haven't been studied yet.No. The antimatter that we have made is charged and it is hard to get a region where the EM field is so small that you can see which way it falls under just gravity.
