   Hi Lawrence   
      
   I think that you have agreed with me that the (CERN Aegis) experiment   
   cannot determine whether antimatter is negatively signed for mass,   
   or not.   
      
   What that experiment can do is check if antimatter falls to earth   
   as does an apple.  If it is found not to fall to earth that is   
   usually said to be destructive for GR.  But it would also undermine   
   ordinary equations of motion as, in ordinary equations of motion,   
   all masses would fall to earth whatever their sign of mass.   
      
   In which case, whatever the findings of Aegis, antimatter could   
   have negatively signed mass.  That would allow antimatter to cause   
   dark energy/matter.  The instant reaction to that is that antimatter   
   cannot be dark matter as dark matter does not interact with EM.   
      
   However, my suggestion is that any antimatter with EM properties   
   will have long ago annihilated with EM matter.  Leaving only the   
   neutrinos and antineutrinos to act as DE and DM.  IMO this does not   
   disagree with what Susskind described in his online Stamford course   
   on Cosmology.  The oddity is why there was any matter left over and   
   not annihilated in the early universe.   
      
   I think I have explained in my computer simulation why there was   
   an imbalance of matter and antimatter in the early universe: some   
   of the antimatter (assumed to be signed with negative mass) could   
   not keep up with the positive mass in the 'runaway motion' effect.   
   If correct, some of the neutrinos/antineutrinos, moving at speed   
   c, did keep up and they are what is causing DE and DM.  Well, the   
   antineutrinos will be implicated in both DM and DE and the neutrinos   
   will only be involved in DM.  (Reverse that if Jay is correct about   
   the neutrino sign anomaly.)   
      
   BTW when you write that "If you had two negative masses they would   
   attract" I assume that you are referring only to the directions of   
   the forces.  When the forces are applied their effects are to produce   
   two accelerations which give repulsion, which is important in   
   allowing negative masses to cause DE in my simulation.  Or, more   
   simply, two negative masses initially at rest with no other external   
   forces on them will move away from one another.
