Let’s Begin…
Like positive and negative, or debit and credit, matter and antimatter are equal and opposite. So if matter falls down, does antimatter fall up? Chloé Malbrunot investigates that question by placing two atoms — one made of matter, and the other antimatter — in the cockpit of a plane, ready to jump. What do you think will happen?
By observing the behavior of antihydrogen in the Earth;s gravitational field, what do physicists want to measure? How do you think they could perform the experiment?
