These findings conclusively prove, for the first time, that antigravity does not exist.
More specifically to the recent story, the team's feat ultimately proved that atomic antihydrogen in particular — made up of one antiproton in the center with a positively charged positron orbiting around it — is pulled downward due toinstead of upward like you might expect with a form of matter that presents as the"opposite" of normal matter, which, as we know, falls downward with gravity as well.
"If you walk down the halls of this department and ask the physicists, they would all say that this result is not the least bit surprising. That's the reality," Jonathan Wurtele, a physics professor at the University of California at Berkeley who first proposed the experiment over a decade ago and a co-author of the new study, said in aRelated:Capturing the miniscule
