An interesting question is does an anti hydrogen atom fall with the same
acceleration as a hydrogen atom in a gravity field. Based on various
Supergravity-Supersymmetry models the gravi-vector component of gravity should
have opposite effects for matter and antimatter. Obviously any such experiment
would be very difficult.
