No, you are correct in saying it exists at the center of the torus, and antimatter is the technical reverse of matter, but it doesn't do the opposite of everything matter does. Antimatter has the same amount of mass as matter, but the opposite electric charge. On a large scale, this would just mean lightning sparks between them, but on the subatomic scale, it causes some change in the properties.

"...In other words, particle and antiparticle must have

• the same mass m
• the same spin state J
• opposite electric charges q and -q."

I've spent as much time as you have on TPT. You sound like Mitt Romney talking about Barack Obama.

Mhmm.

Not exactly. Negative mass could be used in the construction of Wormholes; it could be used to hold the mouths open. But involving this in a Wormhole feature in TPT would be too complicated when paired with other things, and other than this, negative mass is pretty much unimportant in the theory of Wormholes. It's negative energy that is required in Wormholes: The exotic matter that the Wormhole is made out of holds a negative amount of energy, which (for a reason that I'm not sure of) allows for a more stable form that the Wormhole holds.
