Space time signature as a quantum number and antigravitaion (nothing crank here)

In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of anti-gravitation and how it is different from negative mass. The idea is that there could be mirror matter with a repulsive gravitational interaction with our normal matter. This could potentially be related to the cosmological constant and the nature of dark matter. The possibility of harnessing repulsive gravity or other unknown forces is also mentioned. The relationship between spin and repulsivity is suggested to be derived through Born approximation.

Antigravitation

Sabine Hossenfelder
(Submitted on 18 Sep 2009)
We discuss why there are no negative gravitational sources in General Relativity and show that it is possible to extend the classical theory such that repulsive gravitational interaction occurs.

This anti-gravitation is not due negative mass, but negatively charged gravity. So, this is a kind of mirror matter with a repel in relation to our normal matter. They'd cluster in big voids and would interact just gravitationally with our normal matter.

IMHO, that could be related to cosmological constant, given the repel of clusters of matter and dark matter and mirror and dark mirror matter.

So, I was thinking of what could be dark matter. Perhaps matter with euclidean signature, in which they'd just communicate geometrically with normal matter, not even gravitationally, given that none of the known forces can yield propagating fields (waves) in a euclidean signature, as far as I know. What do you people think? Has anyone seen something like this?

I have seen a few times, that this is the nature of the annoying scalar field in Horava gravity.

I just hope that we can find and harness something like repulsive gravity, vacuum energy or the cosmological constant, call it what you will...we have much to learn and if we are lucky a hundred years from now physicsts will read something like this and laugh at how ignorant we are...the alternative would be too sad to consider...

The relationship between spin and repulsivity is derived via Born approximation, is it?
 

Related to Space time signature as a quantum number and antigravitaion (nothing crank here)

1. What is a space time signature?

A space time signature is a mathematical concept in theoretical physics that describes the structure of space-time. It characterizes the number of dimensions in a given space-time and the signature of its geometry, which determines the type of curvature present.

2. How is space time signature related to quantum numbers?

In quantum mechanics, a quantum number is a mathematical value that describes the state of a quantum system, such as the energy level or angular momentum. The space time signature can be thought of as a quantum number because it describes the properties of the space-time in which a quantum system exists.

3. Can space time signature be measured?

No, space time signature cannot be measured directly. It is a theoretical concept used in mathematical models to describe the structure of space-time. However, the effects of different space time signatures can be observed through various physical phenomena, such as gravitational lensing and time dilation.

4. What is antigravitation?

Antigravitation is a hypothetical concept in physics that suggests the existence of a force that opposes the force of gravity. It is often associated with theories of anti-gravity or anti-matter, but there is no scientific evidence to support the existence of such a force.

5. How does space time signature relate to antigravitation?

Some theories propose that certain space time signatures could potentially lead to the existence of antigravitational effects. However, these theories are highly speculative and have not been supported by empirical evidence. The relationship between space time signature and antigravitation remains a topic of ongoing research and debate in the scientific community.
