The answer to the question, "What creates negative mass?" can be understood from the explanation below:

According to intercontinental observational research by A. D. Chernin et al., negative effective mass (Mᴅᴇ → Mᵉᶠᶠ < 0) in the context of the Coma cluster is created by dark energy. This occurs because dark energy exerts a repulsive force, or antigravity effect, that opposes the attractive gravitational force of matter. The research indicates that the effective gravitating density of dark energy is negative, calculated as ρᴅᴇ, eff = −2ρᴅᴇ. This negative density translates into a negative effective mass, influencing the overall dynamics of the cluster. As dark energy affects the system, it reduces the total gravitating mass by contributing a negative mass component, thus creating what is referred to as negative effective mass Mᴅᴇ.

In this research by A. D. Chernin et al., the relationship between gravitational mass, matter mass, and effective mass is expressed as: Mɢ = Mᴍ + Mᴅᴇ, where Mᴅᴇ can be presented as Mᵉᶠᶠ in classical gravitational dynamics.

Soumendra Nath Thakur’s studies further conceptualize negative effective mass (Mᵉᶠᶠ, mᵉᶠᶠ) to explain how energy forms, such as dark energy and potential energy, influence gravitational dynamics and classical mechanics. When energy is introduced into a system—whether through an increase in gravitational potential energy or an applied force—this can result in an effective mass that is negative. This negative effective mass diminishes the apparent matter mass (Mᴍ) without directly converting energy into physical mass. As the negative effective mass becomes more pronounced, the kinetic energy of the system increases, reflecting the influence of these energy forms on gravitational effects and mechanical behaviour. This concept extends classical mechanics by integrating insights from both classical principles and observational data to accommodate the effects of non-traditional energy forms.

In Thakur’s research, effective mass (Mᵉᶠᶠ, mᵉᶠᶠ) is defined as a quasi-physical concept that explains how various forms of energy, such as dark energy and potential energy, influence gravitational dynamics and classical mechanics. When effective mass is negative, it is directly related to matter mass (Mᴍ): as the effective mass becomes more negative, the 'apparent' matter mass decreases. Conversely, as the magnitude of the negative effective mass increases (i.e., as Mᵉᶠᶠ becomes more negative), the kinetic energy increases, and vice versa.
