Objects on the Earth are always moving differently in different seasons because the Earth revolves around the Sun, so apples could fall faster in some seasons than others. Predictably, you can't get scientists talking about anything without the subject of anti-matter coming up. The Standard Model Extension predicts that a particle and an antiparticle would interact differently with the background fields, which means matter and antimatter would feel gravity differently. So, an apple and an anti-apple could fall at different rates, too. Anti-apple. *snort* At least this is safe. They're not going around generating black holes or colliding matter and anti-matter particles. *shudder* By min | January 6, 2009, 11:09 AM | Science CommentsAnti-apples just leave you hungrier. I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waiter. Wouldn't an Anti-Apple be a Windows enthusiast? |
