Abstract: 

The interplay between different types of mass—matter mass, gravitational mass, and negative effective mass—provides profound insights into how these quantities interact under various conditions. This discussion explores the theoretical relationships and states of these masses, emphasizing their implications in gravitational dynamics and physical interpretations, particularly in contexts involving zero-gravity conditions and dark energy-dominated spaces.

Introduction: 

In the realm of theoretical physics, the concept of mass is pivotal. Traditional physics defines mass in terms of matter mass and gravitational mass. However, the introduction of negative effective mass adds a new dimension to this understanding. This interpretation examines the states of mass and their equivalences, providing insights into how these states interact and influence each other, especially in extreme gravitational contexts.

Mass States:

1. Matter Mass (Mᴍ): 

Matter mass is a positive quantity, representing the conventional mass of an object. It is a fundamental property that determines an object's resistance to acceleration and its gravitational interaction with other masses.

2. Gravitational Mass (Mɢ): 

Gravitational mass is influenced by both matter mass and negative effective mass. Its value can vary based on the relative magnitudes of these quantities:

• When matter mass is greater than negative effective mass, gravitational mass remains positive.
• If matter mass equals negative effective mass, gravitational mass becomes zero. This scenario can occur in zero-gravity conditions, such as those found in dark energy-dominated spaces around galaxies or gravitationally bound cosmic bodies.
• When negative effective mass exceeds matter mass in magnitude, gravitational mass can become negative, leading to antigravitational effects where gravitationally bound cosmic objects are repelled from each other.

3. Negative Effective Mass (Mᵉᶠᶠ): 

Negative effective mass is a theoretical concept where the mass is less than zero. This introduces unique behaviours in physical systems, such as the potential for unconventional acceleration effects and the possibility of negative gravitational mass.

Equivalences and Relationships:

1. Matter Mass and Gravitational Mass: The gravitational mass is determined by the sum of matter mass and negative effective mass. When negative effective mass is zero, gravitational mass equals matter mass. Conversely, if both are zero, gravitational mass is also zero, a condition relevant in zero-gravity environments. When matter mass is zero and negative effective mass is present, gravitational mass equals the negative effective mass.

2. Gravitational Mass as a Function of Other Masses: 

The relationship Mɢ = Mᴍ + Mᵉᶠᶠ illustrates that gravitational mass can be expressed as the sum of matter mass and negative effective mass. This equation encapsulates the influence of both positive and negative mass components on the overall gravitational effect, particularly in scenarios involving dark energy and zero-gravity conditions.

3. Effective Mass Difference: 

The difference between gravitational mass and negative effective mass can be used to determine matter mass. The equation Mᴍ = Mɢ - Mᵉᶠᶠ aligns with this interpretation, demonstrating how changes in negative effective mass directly impact matter mass.

Conclusion: 

Understanding the states and equivalences of different types of mass—matter mass, gravitational mass, and negative effective mass—offers significant insights into their interactions and implications. These concepts not only provide a deeper understanding of gravitational dynamics but also highlight the potential for novel physical phenomena, especially in conditions where zero-gravity and dark energy play dominant roles. The exploration of these relationships underscores the importance of theoretical models in advancing our comprehension of fundamental physical principles.
