Well look, no one has seen negative mass objects (as far as we know). All he's saying is that this is one way to fix the F = ma equation to deal with negative mass.

I agree that the burden of proof is on him or anyone who wants to run with the idea, but for now its just being proposed as neat, possible idea.

You're reading a speculative blog entry as if it were a rigorous scientific paper and then claiming that he hasn't done the science.




No, I'm pointing out that, contra phaedrus, the concern is not "answered", but instead handwaved.

And when someone starts telling stories about a "well-known astronomer" who has substantiated his hypothesis, he's taken his claim to a higher level than "a neat, possible idea".
