Babe wake up, a new Eugene Khutoryansky short just dropped

[ramsey]

imagine seeing two balls just chasing each other

[ivocanevo]

Now we know where the negative mass objects are:

They're currently chasing us unsuccessfully forever.

[dopplerdog]

So, basically the relationship between negative and positive mass is akin to the relationship between me and my girlfriend.

I love your videos so much! Thank you for educating the human species.

And warp-drive is placed between the two masses, wants to fall in the dig made by the positive mass but saved by the hill made my the negative mass, and this process continues. See, conflicts between positive and negative makes this wonderful things to happen. Don't be afraid of being negative !

What if there was negative information/knowledge? Not a false statement, but information that is opposite to knowledge itself. What would that represent?

[pedrosso]

What's the definition of a force? Because from my physics classes I'd infer that any acceleration with any mass ≠ 0 could be interpreted as a force by F = ma

Gravity Doesn't Exist,
Its inertia and Inertia is Dark
Energy, there is negative mass its in the other Universe !

Hi Eugene! I must say, your animation and visualization skills are absolutely amazing, as always!

I have a question regarding the Newton framework of gravity. While I understand that the equivalence principle ensures that work would not be violated, I find it somewhat inconsistent with Newton's law of gravity.

For instance, in the equation F = G m_1 m_2 / ||R||^2 (-e_r), where R is the position vector and (-e_r) represents the inward basis vector, the negative value indicates that the basis vector is pointing inward, suggesting an attractive force (F) with a negative value. However, I might be mistaken, but it seems that if we were to make m_2 negative (i.e., -m_2), the force (F) would be positive. The two minus signs from the basis vector and the negative mass would cancel each other out, and the vector component would point outward, which mean to move away.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, as I would appreciate your insights on this matter.

Thank you so much!

Love your videos.

As a chemical engineer I would love to see a video about atomic absorption (ICP-OES or ICP MS) or the underlyings of chromatography

[VEXY]

Yep knew it and we shall make a black hole white by makeing negative mass

[wimpywarrior]

Hello Eugene! I have a video request, I would really appreciate it if you could make a video on a potentiometer and its applications, thank you.

[BaseSixBasics]

CPT Symmetry is the best explanation for this behavior!

Isn't an air bubble underwater could be considered as a negative mass body? like holes in doped silicon are modeled as positively charged particles when studing PN junctions?

[Petrichor]

Thank you for your videos. They're fun! I have a question. In your video, I think it was implied that the positive and negatives masses were of equivalent size. What if the positive mass was earth and the negative mass was a marble? Would the marble hover, fly away from the earth, or accelerate toward the earth? My guess is, fly away. I don't really know. Thank you!

So Negative Mass Is The Ultimate Projectile Weapon ?

[vaakdemandante]

So, basically if we ever saw a mass accelerating without any other mass in its path, then we would have to conclude that it's accelerating away from a negative mass. Since we only ever see a mass accelerating toward another mass, then we can conclude that the negative mass is extremely unlikely to exists.

There are videos on YT showing simulations with positive and negative mass behaving as described by Eugene. They are fun to watch.

Then again, if we had a lone planet in space and wanted to explain why it holds itself together we could argue that it's not gravity pulling it in, but rather the negative mass is "chasing"/"pushing" it inwards. We would then have to expect every positive spherical mass to be surrounded by a kind of helo of negative mass. Since we don't see that either, negative mass does not seem like a possibility.
