antimatter gravity

Antimatter is the counterpart to ordinary matter, made of antiparticles that have opposite charges. In theory, if antimatter is affected by gravity like regular matter, it should fall downwards. However, scientists are researching whether antimatter might behave differently under gravity. Experiments aim to measure how antimatter interacts with gravity to better understand fundamental physics. This could reveal whether antimatter has mass and ensure our understanding of the universe is complete, potentially leading to new insights about dark matter and gravity itself. The outcomes remain crucial for theoretical physics and cosmology.
