CERN Physicists Observe Influence of Gravity on Antimatter

“Einstein’s theory of general relativity says antimatter should behave exactly the same as matter,” said Dr. Jonathan Wurtele, a plasma physicist.

“Many indirect measurements indicate that gravity interacts with antimatter as expected, but until the result today, nobody had actually performed a direct observation that could rule out, for example, antihydrogen moving upwards as opposed to downwards in a gravitational field.”
