Is it true that they have negative kinetic energy; wouldn't this mean that they have imaginary velocities? :confused:

I'm sure I've read this somewhere but I just need to confirm if it's true or not.

No, it's not true. They have positive energy and mass and real velocities.
 
Oh...damn
 
They have opposite charge though
