Minusplanetaans

Minusplanetaans are hypothetical celestial bodies that possess a negative mass. This concept arises from theoretical physics, primarily in exploring the implications of certain mathematical frameworks that allow for the existence of negative mass. Unlike ordinary matter which has positive mass, negative mass objects would exhibit unusual gravitational interactions. For instance, a negative mass object would be repelled by positive mass objects, and conversely, positive mass objects would be attracted to negative mass objects. Furthermore, a negative mass object subjected to a force would accelerate in the opposite direction of the applied force, a phenomenon known as runaway motion.

The existence of minusplanetaans is purely speculative and not supported by any observational evidence. Their properties would challenge fundamental laws of physics as currently understood, including conservation of energy and momentum in certain scenarios. Theoretical discussions surrounding negative mass often explore its potential role in exotic phenomena like warp drives or traversable wormholes, though these remain firmly within the realm of science fiction and theoretical speculation. Scientists continue to investigate the mathematical consistency and physical implications of negative mass concepts, but no known or observed astronomical objects fit the description of a minusplanetaan.
