Also, wouldn't a sizable macro-scale amount of mirror matter appear to
weigh less than predicted? In fact If I understand this correctly if a
sample was composed more than 50 percent (volume-wise) of mirror
matter wouldn't it manifest negative weight, or antigravitation
influences? If so, the stuff would obviously be difficult to locate!
Would have likely floated away millions & billions of years ago! ;-)
No. Mirror matter weakly binds with ordinary matter. If light
mirror matter nuclei bind with heavier ordinary matter nuclei, then
the result is net ordinary matter, but with low density. It is of
great interest that the binding is so weak that mirror matter can be
separated by use of a strong centrifuge. See:
Orion Work's Mirror Matter idea reminds me of upsadaisyum a metal with
antigravity properties. It was part of the Rocky The Flying Squriel
cartoon series. Is there really a possibility that something like that
exists?
