Imagine there is a piece of paper negative mass

SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the theoretical implications of negative mass in physics, particularly its relationship with black holes. It is established that a black hole forms from a significant concentration of mass in a small point, creating a rip in space-time due to gravitational forces. The analogy of pushing down on a card with a pin effectively illustrates this concept. Additionally, the potential use of negative mass particles to maintain a wormhole is mentioned, highlighting their hypothetical applications in advanced physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of general relativity and its implications on space-time
  • Familiarity with black hole formation and characteristics
  • Basic knowledge of wormholes and their theoretical properties
  • Concept of negative mass and its hypothetical effects in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of general relativity and its impact on gravity
  • Explore the conditions required for black hole formation
  • Investigate the theoretical framework of wormholes and their stability
  • Study the concept of negative mass and its implications in modern physics
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physics students, theoretical physicists, and anyone interested in advanced concepts related to black holes and negative mass theories.

Imagine there is a piece of paper negative mass simply pushes up while mass pushes down doesn't that mean that a black hole would be created by mass and negative be same a rip in the paper or in other words space

ps I am not very advanced in physics so don't flame me and try to keep your answers simple

thank you

Using some punctuation marks and proper grammar would help us to understand what you want to say.

As a first guess. Using negative mass is a very bad thing to do in physics. If you do so, you open Pandora's box.
 


A black hole is created by a huge amount of mass concentrated in a infitesimally small point pushing down on space-time because of gravity. It creates a rip because it is so small and dense.

This is analogous to pushing down on a piece of card with a pin, it creates a rip.

On the other hand negative mass particles could hypothetically be used to keep a wormhole open (and a wormhole is very similar to a black hole, except it is two-way).
