Nice announcement. Just to be clear, they found that in the presence of massive electric and magnetic fields, it appears that gravity adds a small downward force. And I assume the force was found to be not only in the usual direction, but with the usual strength (so antihydrogen falls with the same acceleration as hydrogen does).
Dear Mark--The paper in Nature gives the more complete picture. The authors carefully state that the effect of gravity on anti-hydrogen is CONSISTENT with it being the same as the effect on normal hydrogen. It is also consistent with the effect being about half of the effect on normal hydrogen (my conclusion from looking at their data). The data are totally inconsistent with reversed gravity. It is unlikely that indeed the effect is other than the effect on normal hydrogen, but this experiment cannot rule out that possibility. Further experiments will likely sharpen what is ruled out. Some theories have in the past suggested that anti-hydrogen would not fall up, but would not fall down with as much acceleration as would ordinary hydrogen. Of course, if such a result were to be confirmed, it would be amazing, but don't bet on it. --Bill Phillips
OK then, what's anti-gravity? If gravity always flows inward in converging vectors, increasingly dense and powerful in closure, and entering into all matter or anti-matter in that way, interfering with itself between pairs, it begs one stark question. If it's going into everything everywhere, where is it inexhaustibly coming from? Is gravity at rest or thin in interstellar space, or is it an equalizing pressure or medium that balloons in free space, pressing back at the limits of space? Is gravity the result of some cataclysmic event that left matter and gravity in an imbalanced state that gravity is seeking to remedy? If all matter and anti-matter are affected by gravity differently by their proximity to a celestial mass, that including the time-clocks of astronauts circling the globe, then would black holes stop time and less-dense space speed-up? Would attempting to thrust against gravitational (imaginary) lines in space cause time-measured functions to slow in relation to an impressed density field where their mass has grown accordingly? I think a pressure bubble leaking into matter and anti-matter is a poor analogy, as light speed encounters have a known limit. Does that speed vary in close-proximity to black holes or in open space? Just as Mach numbers vary with atmospheric density, so light appears to hit the light-barrier wall too. Gravity is as deceptively invisible as the wind, except in their effects measured. But if gravity waves change time and space, it would seem that interference waves, in whatever medium that it is, would offer a fringe line of entry beyond that alternates with severe concentrations adjacent. Form might vary that, but it seems as though its infancy of understanding is changing in our favor. If gravity is not polar, and matter varieties don't affect it differently, what happens when the bathwater drains completely? Is this a cycle? Is gravity bound to itself, or just dissipating in distance like a magnetic field? Galaxies are big gears in a very large watch, and it has had plenty of time to unwind. Can we measure those rates, and is light speed in thin gravity different in its light years of travel than in dense? Does light speed measure itself by a rate of gravity encounters, or in a uniform speed otherwise?

Jegfrey digiovanno deciphered and engineered a simple mechanical device. U know it.
We need a bigger banana
Whoop di doo can we eat this will it keep us warm will it improve pitiful lifes will it stop wars OH 😢
