On Negative Mass, Dark Energy and Dark Matter — •Antoine A.J. van de Ven — Alumnus of Utrecht University, P.O. Box 19027, 3501 DA, Utrecht, The Netherlands

Back in 1957 Bondi published about negative mass in general relativity. In 2003 the author published a new formalism and redefinition of mass and energy in which antimatter has negative mass while its energy is still always positive and wrote 'It is predicted that antimatter has antigravitational properties and that antimatter is the dark energy in the universe'. In later presentations it was also further elaborated that this can also explain away dark matter without further assumptions. Antimatter with repulsive gravitational fields surrounding a galaxy will generate an extra inward gravitational force without needing dark matter. This was also presented at 'The Dark Universe Conference' in Heidelberg in 2011 and other places and has been used and cited by others. See the references in [1]. In this presentation an update will be given including an alternative formulation and interpretation of the Dirac equation with quaternions in which negative energies are avoided and in which it is derived that antimatter has negative mass in this formalism.
