Physical and Mathematical Consistency of the Janus Cosmological Mode (Jean-Pierre Petit, Gilles D’Agostini, and Nathalie Debergh) > in 2008 and 2009, Hossenfelder in [17] and [18] builds her own bimetric model involving negative mass, from a Lagrangian derivation where she produces a system of two coupled field equations. [...] Actually, although sharing many similarities, having the same kind of coupled field equations regarding negative mass, a fundamental difference remains between Hossenfelder’s bimetric theory and the Janus Cosmological Model. > Indeed, Hossenfelder doubts that the…

Agreed. Now what's more interesting is that his model is close enough to the one developed in a paper from 2008 by Sabine Hossenfelder [1]. Close enough to be accused of plagiarism when he reached out to her. We discussed this article 5 months ago: "'Dark fluid' with negative mass could dominate the universe" [2]. Experiments are currently being setup to see how antimatter behaves in a free-fall situation [3]. The lead scientist says it will fall up, while Petit asserts it will fall down. So it's not like this model is totally isolated from what is being done in physics, although he has…

This is the main point he's upset about. Because of his interest in the UFO phenomenon in the 70s and 80s he has been ostracized from the wider french community (mostly the state-run National Center of Scientific Research aka the CNRS). It's not a subject he wants to talk about anymore. His main grief is not that his genius theory is not understood , but that he cannot discuss it with his colleagues for the reason above. People have set up a petition [1] so that he present his ideas during a seminary (he's indeed quite popular with videos on youtube frequently reaching more than 100k views).…
