				*An Antigravity Matter Container*

This page describes an intellectual exercise to understand the behaviour of antigravity matter inside and around a hypothetical antigravity matter container.

Imagine the following initial conditions:-

A strong lightweight spherical container exists that is made from a material that can resist the passage of antigravity matter (purple on the right),
The container is in a universe that contains a background density of antigravity matter (grey on the right),
The density of the antigravity matter in the container is initially the same density as the background density,
And the antigravity matter is cold. That is particles have negligible kinetic energy.

In this initial state there is no net force on the container wall.

Now we remove a quantity of antigravity matter from the container. The result is that the remaining antigravity matter in the container remains at the background density and forms a sphere in the middle of the container. The antigravity matter outside the container feels a reduced repulsion from within the container and moves inwards until the average density of antigravity matter is equal to the background density.

The antigravity matter outside presses inwards on the wall of the container. This force is entirely due to antigravity because the antigravity matter is cold and has no gas pressure.

Now we add an excess of antigravity matter to the container. The free floating antigravity matter within the container remains at the background density. The excess antigravity matter presses against the inner wall of the container. The antigravity matter outside the container feels an increased repulsion from the antigravity matter within the container and an AGM Boundary forms away from the outer wall of the container.

The antigravity matter inside presses outwards on the wall of the container. Again this force is entirely due to antigravity because the antigravity matter is cold and has no gas pressure.

Now we imagine warming up the antigravity matter within the container and throughout the nearby universe. Antigravity matter particles now have a small amount of kinetic energy. The result is that the container feels an increased force pushing outwards on the inner wall due to the conventional gas pressure of the antigravity matter.

The important point from this analysis is that antigravity matter can influence objects around and within it by two separate mechanisms. The first is due to anti-gravity and the second is due to gas pressure. If antigravity matter is at close to zero temperature the gas pressure effect will be close to zero but the anti-gravity effect will remain. The gas pressure effect could be stronger than the antigravity matter effect if the temperature is high.
