Response to "CPT symmetry and antimatter gravity in general relativity"
The observed accelerated cosmic expansion is problematic in that it seems to require an otherwise unobserved dark energy for its origin.

Zusammenfassung: | The observed accelerated cosmic expansion is problematic in that it seems to
require an otherwise unobserved dark energy for its origin. A possible
alternative explanation has been recently given, which attempts to account for
this expansion in terms of a hypothesized matter-anti-matter repulsion. This
repulsion or anti-gravity is derived by applying the CPT theorem to general
relativity. We show that this proposal cannot work for two reasons: 1) it
incorrectly predicts the behavior of photons and 2) the CPT transformation
itself is not consistently applied. |
