I would appreciate it if someone at Los Alamos would comment on the theory
behind an experiment they are reported to be in progress on. The report
was in the 6/10 Space Calendar, and states that they are going to look for
antigravity effects on antiprotons. The antiprotons will be cooled to near
absolute zero and slowly bled into a test chamber where they will be
examined for subtle gravitational effects.

Is this related to supersymmetry theories, or is it just thought the a time
reversed particle should show a time reversed reaction to a gravitational
field (why I wouldn't pretend to guess).

I guess I'm really asking, do you guys have a good reason for thinking there
might REALLY be such an effect, or is it a "What the hell, try it and see
what happens" type of experiment?
