We review the standards of relativistic quantum mechanics such as the Dirac equation under the concept of negative masses. We show that negative energies are acceptable provided the masses are simultaneously negative. Negative energy and mass anti fermions are obtained from positive energy and mass fermions through a unitary PT transformation.
We show, through Newtonian approximation, that shifting to a bimetric model of the Universe based on a suitable system of coupled field equations, removes the preposterous runaway effect and gives different interaction laws, between positive and negative masses, that bring new insights into the alternative VLS interpretations previously proposed by several authors, and strengthening their assumptions.
After a short summary of our bimetric model of the Universe, an exact nonlinear solution is built, which demonstrates the existence of solutions for our two coupled field equations system. In addition to the classical positive gravitational lensing, this solution is shown to also lead to negative gravitational lensing, a phenomenon previously described in 1995 (Astrophysics and Space Science). Such negative lensing provides an alternative interpretation for the observed faint magnitudes of high redshift galaxies, so far considered as dwarf galaxies.
A bimetric description of the universe is proposed, which explains cosmic acceleration deduced from optically observed high-redshift objects. This phenomenon is classically charged to a mysterious repulsive "dark energy" whose true nature is unknown. This is identified in this model with a set of particles having negative mass and energy. These negative mass particles, emitting negative energy photons, are not observable using optical instruments.
We introduce a new dynamical group whose coadjoint action on its momentum space takes account of matter-antimatter symmetry on pure geometrical grounds. According to this description the energy and the spin are unchanged under matter-antimatter symmetry. We recall that the antichron components of the Poincaré group, ruling relativistic motions of a mass-point particle, generate negative energy particles. The model with two twin universes, inspired by Sakharov's one, solves the stability issue. Positive and negative energy particles motions hold in two distinct folds. The model is extended to charged particles. As a result, the matter-antimatter duality holds in both universes.
An attempt is made here to extend to the microscopic domain the scale invariant character of gravitation - which amounts to consider expansion as applying to any physical scale. Surprisingly, this hypothesis does not prevent the redshift from being obtained. It leads to strong restrictions concerning the choice between the presently available cosmological models and to new considerations about the notion of time. Moreover, there is no horizon problem and resorting to inflation is not necessary.
