Antimatter Falls Downward Like Normal Matter on Earth
For those still holding out hope that antimatter levitates rather than falls in a gravitational field, like normal matter, the results of a new experiment are a dose of cold reality. Physicists studying antihydrogen — an anti-proton paired with an antielectron, or positron — have conclusively shown that gravity pulls it downward and does not push it upward. At least for antimatter, antigravity doesn't exist. The experimental results will be reported in the Sept. 28 issue of the journal Nature by a team representing the Antihydrogen Laser Physics Apparatus ( ALPHA ) collaboration at the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland.
