Wormholes, Gamma Ray Bursts and the Amount of Negative Mass in the Universe

TL;DR

This paper explores the hypothetical existence of negative mass objects in space, analyzing their microlensing effects on light from distant galaxies, and suggests they could explain some observed gamma-ray bursts, setting bounds on their abundance.

Contribution

It introduces a novel hypothesis linking negative mass objects to gamma-ray bursts and derives observational constraints using satellite data.

Findings

Negative mass objects can produce microlensing similar to gamma-ray bursts

Satellite data constrains the amount of negative mass in the universe

Negative mass could be a plausible explanation for some gamma-ray burst phenomena

Abstract

In this essay, we assume that negative mass objects can exist in the extragalactic space and analyze the consequences of their microlensing on light from distant Active Galactic Nuclei. We find that such events have very similar features to some observed Gamma Ray Bursts and use recent satellite data to set an upper bound to the amount of negative mass in the universe.
