The question of negative mass or negative effective mass, potentially applicable to virtual particles at the quantum level, emerges in the context of Claudia de Rham's radical new theory of gravity.
In my interpretation, this consideration suggests that observable matter—including dark matter—possesses positive mass. We assess this positive mass through baryonic objects and visible energy, as well as the gravitational influence of dark matter on luminous matter. This framework aligns with classical mechanics, where gravity is regarded as an attractive force, or with extended classical mechanics, which also treats gravity as a force.
Conversely, virtual matter may exhibit negative mass, as seen in assessments of dark energy or "invisible energy." This negative mass is responsible for the repulsive force, or "anti-gravity," resulting from a negative effective or apparent mass, as suggested by observational findings and extended classical mechanics.
My interpretation draws on Planck scale concepts, including Planck length, Planck frequency, and Planck time. Since anything above the Planck scale is imperceptible to us and the frequency of any existence ultimately surpasses the Planck frequency, virtual particles likely exist beyond this threshold, suggesting that virtual particles may exhibit extreme gravitational effects.
