New experiments are being proposed to test a big unknown in physics: how antimatter reacts to gravity. Physicists have studied antimatter, the mirror version of ordinary matter, for decades. They know, for example, that antiparticles have the same mass as ordinary particles, but opposite charge. But no one knows what effect gravity will have on such particles. Now several groups want to measure exactly how the Earth will pull on antimatter. (source: space.newscientist.com)
