I've had a quick scan through the paper, and it looks very much at
things at the large/galatic scale. IMHO it is worth looking at whether
this might link in with LENR, but that would require taking the ideas
down to the opposite scale and working out how it fits in with QFT and
the standard model (a beyond the standard model version), in that at the
end of the day whatever this negative mass stuff might be it would have
to interact with the stuff we know about to be a candidate mechanism for
LENR. My hunch is that there is a connection between LENR and the Higgs
field through the role of neutrinos. As Higgs is in turn the basis for
the current mass orthodoxy, adding a negative mass based interaction
into the model might be exactly what is needed. To start we need a hint
as to possible non-gravitational interactions between negative and
positive mass stuff, for which the paper does not provide any guidance

Wow. I just read a science brief on a new theory that explains
Dark-matter and Dark-energy in a very odd way. Ponder this one
for a moment. Empty space has a negative mass. Not zero mass but
something with a minus sign in front of it! This is a new model
worked out by Dr. Jamie Farnes of the Oxford e-Research Centre
published in 'Astronomy and Astrophysics'. So because empty space
has negative mass, it has negative gravity and thus the universe
is accelerating as it expands from negative gravity.
Maybe CNF has tapped into negative mass in the empty space of the
lattice voids? Or maybe it's more like stuff from the old movie
'Flubber'. Either way, it's an interesting perspective on Dark
matter and Dark energy.
