Gravitation and electric forces

[Marwod.leo]

Hello to you all, my name is Leonardo and i'm 17, i was studying for the tomorrow's phisic test when i wondered what would happen if antimatter and matter "walk up".. Would there be gravity or it could be called antygravity? I thought that if the eletric force has a positive part and a negative part, maybe matter and antimatter could act as the same! Do you know something about it? Now i feel a little stupid, i'm just a guy who can't neither speak well english.. Ahah ok that's all, bye!

As far as we know, matter and antimatter behave in exactly the same way with regards to gravity. There is no reason to think otherwise.

 

However, scientists always want to test things and so the CERN ALPHA experiment is trying to create enough antimatter to test the effect of gravity.

Thank you!

Many posters come here with a question to which they receive a good answer, but they say nothing. You said thank you and I wish to thank you in turn for taking the time to appreciate Strange's effort to provide you with an answer. (Please don't thank me for this thank you, or we will be here all year. )
