Even the first line of the article: "Washington State University physicists have created a fluid with negative mass, which is exactly what it sounds like."
"Exactly what it sounds like"?? Like...antigravity?? Reads further Ugh. Clickbait.
- kodfodrasz 10y agoIn classical physics there are 2 types of mass considered (and measured to be equal): 1. gravitational mass used in Newton's Law of Gravity 2. intertial mass used in Newton's Second Law Measurements show that these two kinds of mass properties of an object are equal (are in linear proportion) to a very high precision. This was suspected and even Newton has considered and measured this, but the first really high precision measurements were done by baron Loránd Eötvös[1].
