What Would Negative Mass Look Like and How Would It Behave?

AI Thread Summary
Negative mass is a theoretical concept that raises questions about its appearance and behavior, with some speculating it could resemble an ordinary rock. If negative mass were to exist, it would move in the opposite direction of any applied force, leading to the paradox of potentially being impossible to move. This raises the question of whether it would remain stationary or exhibit unique movement patterns. However, since negative mass has not been observed and lacks empirical evidence, its properties and implications remain purely speculative. The discussion highlights the challenges in understanding a phenomenon that does not currently exist in our physical reality.

Let's say that negative mass existed, what might it look like? Could it look like an ordinary rock stuck in the ground? If so, what would happen if you tried to move it around? If it moves in the opposite direction it is push then wouldn't it be impossible to move it in any direction? Would it be stuck where it is?

No one can answer that. It doesn't exist as far as we know, and we have no reason to think that it does. Because of that we cannot possibly say what it might or might not do, as we don't know the properties of it.
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
