Hole Mass Negative Negative mass White hole

In summary, negative mass is a hypothetical concept in physics where an object's mass is less than zero and has repulsive gravitational effects. It differs from regular mass, which has positive values and follows the laws of gravity as we currently understand them. Currently, there is no evidence for negative mass in nature, but it is possible to create it with advanced technology. Negative mass is often associated with white holes, which are the opposite of black holes and may be powered by negative mass. However, there is currently no evidence to suggest that negative mass and white holes can be used for space travel. The potential implications of these concepts could challenge our understanding of the universe and potentially lead to new possibilities in space exploration and energy production.

does somebody with a negative mass create a white hole instead of a black hole because of its anti gravity property.

Since according to our contemporary theory there's nothing with a negative mass the question doesn't make much sense to begin with :-)).

Related to Negative Mass & White Holes: Does It Create?

1. What is negative mass?

Negative mass is a hypothetical concept in physics where an object has a mass that is opposite in sign to its normal positive mass. This means that instead of being attracted to other objects by gravity, it would repel them.

2. Can negative mass actually exist?

At this point, there is no evidence or proof that negative mass exists in our universe. It is still a theoretical concept that is being studied and explored by scientists.

3. How would negative mass affect the laws of physics?

If negative mass were to exist, it would have a significant impact on our understanding of the laws of physics. It would challenge the principles of conservation of energy and momentum, as well as the theory of relativity.

4. What are white holes and how are they related to negative mass?

A white hole is another theoretical concept in physics that is the opposite of a black hole. Instead of pulling matter in, a white hole would expel matter outwards. Some scientists propose that negative mass could be the cause of white holes.

5. Could negative mass and white holes be used for space travel?

There is currently no evidence or technology to support the use of negative mass and white holes for space travel. However, some scientists are exploring the possibility of using these concepts to create wormholes for faster-than-light travel.
