Push it, and unlike every physical object in the world we know, it doesn\u2019t accelerate in the direction it was pushed. It accelerates backwards. The phenomenon is rarely created in laboratory conditions and can be used to explore some of the more challenging concepts of the cosmos, said Michael Forbes, a WSU assistant professor of physics and astronomy and an affiliate assistant professor at the University of Washington. The research appears today in the journal Physical Review Letters, where it is featured as an \u201cEditor\u2019s Suggestion.\u201d Hypothetically, matter can have negative mass in the same sense that an electric charge can be either negative or positive.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/pionic.org\/negative-mass-created-for-the-first-time-by-physicists\">https:\/\/pionic.org\/negative-mass-created-for-the-first-time-by-physicists<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington State University physicists have created a fluid with negative mass, which is exactly what it sounds like.
