It would seem that the same issues Robin raises that apply to the concept
of negative energy apply to negative mass. Mass may be merely a continuous
function with the boundary between negative and positive mass being
associated with the boundary between virtual and real existence. Here I am
thinking of the Dirac Sea as being on the other side of the boundary
separating negative and positive mass and energy.
Philippe Hatt has an interesting theory involving negative mass for the
construction of the protons and neutrons from positive and negative mass
consideration.
It may be that Robin's "system" is the key. The system that includes both
sides of the Dirac Sea and our real 4-D universe. And of course the
"system" may even be different than that.

Hi,

Let us get to the bottom of this fear. Expand...
It depends on exactly what is meant by negative energy. If meant in an
absolute
sense, then I am very doubtful. However if it's just a consequence of only
considering too small a system (i.e. where the boundaries are chosen too
small),
then I have no problem with it, other than that perhaps insufficient
consideration may have been given to the integration with the larger system.

I'm always a bit suspicious of theories that make use of "negative
energy".
