Gravitation : Not equal!
Negative for antimatter!

Anti-matter as Dark Energy
• Causes anti-gravitational fields and effects because of negative mass
• Is dark because it cannot form stars• Will distribute itself because it self-repels• Will be between galaxies and repels them
(accelerated expansion of the universe)
![Page 16: A Space-Time Formalism with Negative Mass to describe Antimatter and Dark Energy Antoine A.J. van de Ven Logic and Relativity Conference 2012](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ca35503460f94963b4a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Explains missing anti-matter in the universe
• Equal amounts of matter and anti-matter could have been produced at the start of the universe.
• Anti-matter is just hidden as Dark Energy, and away from us because it repels everything (and annihilates and disappears easily near matter like in a galaxy)

Predicts CP-Violation

Predicted by standard model/QED:
Experimentally (upper limit cosmological constant):
Solves Vacuum-energy problem
![Page 19: A Space-Time Formalism with Negative Mass to describe Antimatter and Dark Energy Antoine A.J. van de Ven Logic and Relativity Conference 2012](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ca35503460f94963b4a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Vacuum energy is related to quantum fluctuations in the vacuum
Always equal amount of (virtual) particles and anti-particles in the vacuum
Anti-gravitational fields of antiparticles cancel gravitational fields of the particles (in
the quantum fluctuations of the vacuum), so is in agreement with experimental value.
Solves Vacuum-energy problem

Anti-particles follow geodesics so are predicted to fall down on Earth
![Page 21: A Space-Time Formalism with Negative Mass to describe Antimatter and Dark Energy Antoine A.J. van de Ven Logic and Relativity Conference 2012](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ca35503460f94963b4a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Prediction that (neutral) antiparticles will gravitationally repel each other
It is proposed to test and measure this experimentally
