Summary

Researchers in the US say they've created a fluid with negative mass in the lab. What it means is that, unlike pretty much every other known physical object, when you push this fluid, it accelerates backwards instead of moving forwards. Jeff and Anthony try to work through what this means for the universe and for Tru TV's Impractical Jokers.

0:30.0	I don't know Bill because you also said this. No! No! No! I love Epcot. This is we have
0:35.8	concerns. Hi Jeff Ganata. Hi Anthony Carbony. Hello concerned citizens. Speaking of energy,
0:41.3	we got a cool story sent to us by Emil Lang. Does Emil have a nickname? He does. He's a stalwart
0:49.2	from way back. Yeah, but you can't call people stalwart because that's Lisa's name. Yeah,
0:53.5	it's a good point. He's been one of our finest, most consistent contributors. What does Emil,
1:02.7	we may have already given him a nickname. The ice cream man. All right ice cream man comes through.

1:35.8	Well, I want to say we, I mean, researchers at the University of Washington created something
1:41.0	with negative mass. How is that possible? It shouldn't be. How do they do that? Negative mass. How big?
1:47.2	I mean, we're talking, we must be talking like part like like slightly bigger than particles. Like
1:52.4	100 microns, I think is as how big this thing is. It's a liquid. But we didn't think it was
1:58.4	possible. It's theoretically possible. The idea that mass could be like a charge on an
