How could a material have negative mass?
Chase Reyes
i'm curious what would happen if you pushed on an object with negative mass. you pushing on it would exert a force on it directed away from you, which cause it to move towards you, exerting a force on your hands towards it. would just touching it cause it and your hand to collapse into nothingness?
Andrew Wood
I imagine it would be similar to pushing two positive meganetic fields together. They would just push apart harmlessly.
There's no reason to assume that negative mass would result in negative inertia. After all, massless particles still have inertia.

>negative mass
Have you been reading game wikis again?
What does negative mass even mean conceptually?
Cameron Rivera
faster than light travel because it wouldn't take infinite energy to accelerate it. It makes absolutely no sense.
Kayden Watson
If a substance has negative mass does that mean it has negative energy?
Gabriel Cooper
no, they don't. inertia is the defining difference between mass and energy

Doesn't negative mass imply that it's travelling backwards in time?

``NEGATIVE'' AND ``POSITIVE'' ARE JUST MISLEADING NAMES, THEY AREN'T NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE AT ALL

We could make something that accelerates forever without consuming any energy and without violating conservation of energy
So yeah it would do that, but it probably won't turn your hand into nothingness.
Ryder Harris
physics isn't like that
our math isn't compatible enough with the universe to give a meaningful answer
Angel Nelson
Vectors.
I like tingling your autism.
Logan White
NO retard, a negative vector is a positive vector but rotate of 180°
Wyatt Morris
Normal mass pulls on space-time in a sense, so I'd assume "negative mass" would expand it somehow, kinda like dark energy, if it exists.
In other words, it would push "positive mass" away. It would flip the signs on equations of gravity.
What would we do with it? Not a whole lot. It would make mass even more of an analogy to electromagnetics, but EM is a stronger force than gravity. Seeing as we aren't using huge differences in electric charge to get spacecraft in orbit, we probably wouldn't use "negative mass" for it either.

ACADEMIA HAS BRAINWASHED YOU INTO THINKING THAT
TWO OPPOSING THINGS = NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE
IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT NEGATIVE NUMBERS EXIST
Juan Hall
Negative numbers exist in as much as they are compared to other numbers
for example:
You = Me - 150 Chill
You - Me = -150 Chill
The difference between you and me is negative chill
you need more chill

It would "fall" away from the Earth at 10m/s/s. Assuming you were in space and you came upon a rock with negative mass, you wouldn't notice anything strange at all.

James Thompson
if it was very dense, high concentration of negative mass in a small volume, you could probably use it for its anti-gravity effect since it would be repelled by gravitational fields.

Mass is a value given by the Higgs field. Negative mass would be a value taken away by the higgs field.

I see a non zero amount of the concept of 'apple' in here. Nowhere near enough to assign an integer value but it's still there.
