Therefore, argue Morrison and Gold, conditions in earthly laboratories may be too special to trust. Gravitation might act differently if more antimatter were around. A sample of antimatter, for instance, might retain its inertial mass but be repelled instead of attracted by the earth's gravitational field. Its weight would be less than nothing; it would actually tend to lift itself. In an "anti-galaxy," a bit of ordinary matter would be repelled in the same...
After elaborate mathematical reasoning, Morrison and Gold speculate that the universe may consist of both kinds of matter. Both antimatter and ordinary matter may have been created at the same time, and are perhaps still being created. Even if the atoms of opposite type are born in the same parts of space, they will seldom meet and suffer annihilation. Gravitational attraction will pull similar atoms together, while antigravitational repulsion will push dissimilar ones apart. The final result will be the segregation of matter and antimatter in separate galaxies...
Duel in the Sky. For all astronomers know, say Morrison and Gold, half of the galaxies may be made of antimatter. They will be pushing their neighbors away by antigravity, but the light that comes from them will reveal nothing unusual about them. Only when galaxies of hostile type happen to collide in spite of anti-gravity will their matter interact violently. This may be happening. Several odd objects deep in space, e.g., the M 87 galaxy, seem to get large amounts of energy from an unknown source. These may be pairs of hostile galaxies, fighting vast duels of annihilation...
...through Greek originals exclusively, instead of the usual mixture with spiritless Roman copies. In form, these figures are exactly what the ancient Greeks saw. But the note originally struck is muted: the brilliant colors with which the Greeks painted their statues have rubbed off the marble, and the burnished-gold hue of the bronzes has tarnished. Nonetheless, like buildings whose stone façades take on a glowing quality with age, the Greek bronzes may be no less winning for their centuries-mellowed patina...
