[Cosmology] Dark Matter, Gravity and Anti-matter - a hypothesis

[Papa_Joe]

I just finished reading an article on the interwebz here:

http://www.charpan.com/gravity-in-relation-to-dark-matter-a-brief-discussion

It it the author discussed an alternative view of gravity and dark matter.

In my soul it feels right. I would propose that it goes further.

Iirc, The current thinking is that the big bang came with equal parts matter and antimatter. Immediately after this event, most to all of the existing antimatter "disappeared" and is assumed to be annihilated in the event and post.

Lets turn that on its ear for a moment. What if antimatter never disappeared at all?

What if antimatter had a previously unknown property of repulsion to matter? It is well known what happens to matter when it comes into contact with antimatter. However, all our testing has been at energies high enough to create antimatter so we can observe it.... if that is true, then we are only looking at it's behaviour at extreme conditions, just as we are looking at matter at extreme conditions.

At ambient conditions, its behavior would likely be much like matter, only in repulsion to matter. So, here is the source of dark matter, and the source of gravity... the natural repulsion of antimatter, aka "Dark matter"

In other words, gravity is antimatter pressure.

Thoughts?

Edit: I found another article that supports my theory, and efforts are ongoing to prove whether matter and antimatter are repulsive. they will be using anti hydrogen in the testing.
