Does antimatter fall upward? We think it ETA shouldn’t should, but two experiments are under way to make sure. (via)

Not the best format, but this thread is otherwise a good explainer about the upcoming redefinition of the kilogram. (via)

That seems backwards: we think antimatter shouldn't fall upward. At least, I do; mass is mass whatever the charge of the underlying particles. (The linked article claims there's a one in a million chance of it going the other way, but that sounds like baseless hype to me.)
