CERN Scientists Collecting Antimatter To Find Antigravity

Literally looking to see if things can fall up

European scientists are currently trying to collect enough antimatter to determine if the elusive substance reacts to gravity in the opposite way that normal matter does—by "falling up" instead of down.

Anti-gravity has long been a staple of science fiction as a future technological means for propelling spacecraft away from massive objects like planets and stars? But does it really exist in nature?
