Good question. It would send it spinning off at right angles, perhaps. In the ultimate, mass (and energy) is merely an aspect of momentum "Quis non agit non existit" (Leibniz); so neutral mass implies zero momentum. If a materon consists of two parts, ones spinning clockwise and one widdershins then because momentum is a vector the particle has zero momentum. However, I'm sure you can conjure up plenty of alternatives with the aid of your Metaphysical Magic. ;-) Cheers, Frank Grimer
