You haven't taken the shipping costs into account.

You know the words 'bending spacetime' almost seem tailor made to sound bad if you try to apply it to static electric charges - in other words it is supposed to be strange if space-time is bent in one direction for a positive electric charge and it is bent in the opposite direction for a negative electric charge.

Nonetheless basic question. Has anyone tried to subtract out the electric fields and clearly determine that gravity derived from regular matter does - attract antimatter rather than - repel antimatter?

does gravity attract antimatter

Ok.

So, what is 'AI'? A generic term for 'technology' when a reporter wants to report on something that seems technological, but doesn't want to specify what the 'technology' is?

Well maybe so, but it also two letters attached to the 'google' search engine.

The google AI search isn't bad. One shouldn't believe it absolutely, but it usually has credible references and is a good start for branching out.

I sometimes don't have the just-right words for a search, and the google AI often furnishes them.

Yes indeed! Several experiments measure the effect of gravity on antimatter, neutral antihydrogen, and it falls down just like ordinary matter. At least within the precision afforded by the experiments. It's by no means easy to do.

All subjects where CIA hasn't a stake in are surprisingly reliable.
