Does Negative Mass Impact Expansion in Vacuum Space?

In summary, the conversation discusses the interaction of antiparticles with the Higgs field and their potential role in explaining dark energy and the acceleration of expansion in the universe. However, the discussion is based on misunderstandings and does not align with current scientific understanding. The conversation ends with the reminder that progress is made through critical thinking and expanding beyond conventional ideas.

does anyone have a view on how an anti particle interacts with the Higgs field?

Does it have negative mass and could that mass be greater than the associated "positive" matter particle created in vacuum space as the universe fabric extends.

If true, the expansion drives the borrowing from the vacuum, and a fractionally higher "anti" mass / coupling with Higgs of the anti particle would drive the acceleration in expansion.

As the fabric stretches the likelihood of annihilation collisions would fractionally diminish so the system would feedback and the borrowed vacuum particles would grow greater over time and add to a "thinning / dilution / surface tension" of the Higgs field?

That would seem to explain dark energy and initial inflation and now acceleration of expansion..

Thoughts please?

In exactly the same way as particles.

Antiparticles have positive mass as well, exactly the same mass as their partners.

None of this makes sense.

while it may well not be correct, the logical argument does make sense.

No, not at all. You can't use popular science descriptions as arguments for anything. They are at best somewhat linked to the actual physics, but using them to make predictions beyond their applicability doesn't work.

And how is progress made beyond the conventional thinking?

You cannot compare what you have proposed in this thread with the "what if" thinking of professional scientists. A professional scientist knows where the boundaries of the box is and how to think outside of it. Your "argument" is just based on word salad and misunderstanding of what the box looks like.

The OP is personal speculation based on misunderstandings. Thread closed.
 

FAQ: Does Negative Mass Impact Expansion in Vacuum Space?

1. What is vacuum and how is it related to acceleration?

Vacuum is a state where there is no matter present. It is related to acceleration because in a vacuum, there is no air resistance, allowing objects to accelerate faster.

2. How does vacuum affect objects in motion?

In a vacuum, there is no air resistance, allowing objects to maintain constant acceleration and reach higher speeds compared to in air. However, once an object reaches a certain speed, it will experience friction from the air particles present in the vacuum.

3. Can vacuum be created artificially?

Yes, vacuum can be created artificially using a vacuum pump. This device removes air particles from a sealed container, creating a vacuum inside.

4. How does vacuum affect living organisms?

Vacuum can be harmful to living organisms as it can cause decompression sickness, also known as "the bends", if experienced suddenly. However, in a controlled environment, vacuum can be used for medical purposes such as wound healing or in space suits for astronauts.

5. What is the relationship between vacuum and speed of light?

Vacuum is the only medium in which light can travel at its maximum speed of 299,792,458 meters per second. In other mediums, such as air or water, the speed of light is slower due to interaction with particles.
