CROSSING SYMMETRY IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH GENERAL RELATIVITY

Consider a proton moving in empty space past a positively charged earth with charge (squared) . In the absence of further information, we expect it to move past the earth without being deflected. The CPT theorem asserts that an anti-proton must move past a negatively charged anti-earth in precisely the same way, so gives us no new information. Conventional theories predict that an anti-proton moving past a positively charged earth at distance r would experience an acceleration toward the earth of twice the amount that a neutral object of mass m_p would experience. However, if we are correct in asserting that “crossing symmetry” requires all “forces” (i.e. accelerations per unit inertial mass) on a particle to reverse when that particle is replaced by its antiparticle, then the fact that we can use electromagnetic forces to balance a particle in a gravitational field plus crossing symmetry predict that the electromagnetic fields would have to be reversed in order to balance an anti-particle in the same configuration…
