Anti-matter falls in a gravitational field just like normal matter!
While theory suggests it to be true, it is so important to see it actually confirmed in an experiment! (And it is so cool. they can make anti-matter atoms and control them…).
It is still a mystery why inertial mass, coming from quantum physics essentially, is the same as the gravitational mass in relativity - at least as long as we don’t have a theory of quantum gravity.
