Message-ID: <437@ttidcb.UUCP> Date: Fri, 16-Aug-85 14:54:42 EDT Article-I.D.: ttidcb.437 Posted: Fri Aug 16 14:54:42 1985 Date-Received: Mon, 19-Aug-85 21:13:40 EDT Organization: TTI, Santa Monica, CA. Lines: 14 There's a discussion on net.scifi-lovers relating to negative mass - the hope is to produce an FTL drive somehow. This triggered off a memory and I'm hoping someone can contribute. In about 1966 I attended a seminar by Prof. Fairbanks who researched at Stanford U (I think). He was trying to slow down positrons for long enough to tell if they fell upwards or downwards. Does anyone know how this turned out? If this experiment did not get completed, has there been any other work?
