If the gravitational force between the two is repulsive, wouldn't that imply negative mass because of what we know of the Higgs field? Then we'd be deep into exotic matter territory and theoretically, even a small amount can warp space time very differently than regular matter so at galactic scales, shouldn't we see some pretty extreme evidence of this?
- cperciva 10y agoGiven how little we know about the Higgs -- namely, that we're pretty certain that at least one particle exists which probably behaves in the same manner as a Higgs boson would on several tests -- I'd hesitate to draw conclusions on the basis of how a particular model suggests that the Higgs field behaves.
