would the concept of neomatter be scientifically feasible? i constructed this a little over a week ago for shits and gigs because i was bored, but i want your guys' opinions on it

Per forum rules you need to explain it here on the forum without requiring readers to go off-site by clicking links. Can you summarise the idea in a couple of paras?

of course. to keep things short--essentially, im proposing a hypothesis (or more so, idea) for a new form of matter; neomatter. whereas a material like antimatter has the opposite electric charge from normal matter, yet its mass remains unaffected, neomatter has not only an opposite charge, but an opposite mass as well. i understand this trails more into the realm of science fiction than our current real world understanding of physics, but i thought it was interesting

apologies for misunderstanding the rules, by the way

It seems that -ve mass has been explored: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_mass. It leads to some curious predicted behaviour.

adding onto this, the slides have additional info (including characteristics of neomatter and an example of a neoparticle)

Any evidence that such matter exists? Any suggested ways of finding that evidence?
