particle/antiparticle pairs. But that just raises the question of where the energy
came from. The answer is that the total energy of the universe is exactly zero
Second, you don't need to call a gravitational field negative. You can simply say that two different categories of matter/energy are always equal.
With the total=zero approach, you have the curious conclusion that something is really nothing.
