Since Mass Exists, Can There Be Negative Mass?
Media outlets claim researchers have created negative mass, but what they really created is negative 'effective' mass, which is a little different. Black Holes And Gravitational Waves Might...

By definition, mass is the quantity of matter that a body contains. But, could there be negative mass? That seems counterintuitive right? How can you have negative two kilograms of something... Negative mass seems to violate the laws of our universe… But, in 2014 a couple of excited researchers did some calculations and found it was A-OKAY. The Universe is fine with negative mass as long as that mass isn't’ solid. If it’s a fluid, you’re cool.Science pun. So… Negative mass can exist. According to their calculations, a perfect fluid -- which doesn’t exist -- would allow negative mass to exist and wouldn’t defy the laws of general relativity! I know that’s complicated, but put a pin in that for a second. Because just recently in 2017…...
