What I meant was that if momentum is to be conserved, and the neutral mass particle has by definition zero momentum, then the collision cannot change the momentum of a normal positive mass particle. A particle with negative mass would, when impacted immediately proceed towards the impetus pushing

Mike, Not if you accept the argument and mathematics of Randall Mills, and others, that the electron itself is a negative-mass particle - Jones, just where do you see anything in the "argument and mathematics of Randell Mills" that the "electron itself is a negative-mass particle"? I rea

Contemplating collisions with Neutral or Negative Mass particles boggles the mind. How would a particle with Neutral mass affect momentum? --- Grimer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > At 11:17 am 27/07/2005 +0200, you wrote: > >Hi > > > >I wonder if ZPE can be involved in the distribution > of therma
