So you'd say that any object without mass does not exist? Perhaps you'd like to brush up on photons and gauge bosons. The author was no more saying that an object with negative mass is non-existent than a debt is a hole in your wallet. Negative numbers have more meaning than subtraction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massless_particle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massless_particle

Discounting relativistic mass, yes. I'm not sure what the author's specific thoughts on that are; I was only pointing out my view, but your "debt is a hole in the wallet" is actually similar to what I'm proposing. The key is the object doesn't only not exist, it's missing. By the way, whoever upvoted my comment above, good one. It's not easy to wrap your brain around the implication. :)
