Abstract

We take a fresh look on negative masses both in the quantum mechanical as well as cosmological contexts. We show that the concept of negative masses naturally takes place in these two fields provided that slight modifications are made to the traditional theories (i.e., to consider a unitary temporal reversal operator in quantum mechanics and to opt for different laws of attraction in cosmology).
