"A natural candidate for the role of a cosmic-weight watcher is the stability of solutions."

"While general relativity cannot forbid an equilibrium solution with negative mass — after all any Lorentzian geometry is a solution to the Einstein field equations for the appropriate stress tensor — it may forbid stable solutions with negative mass. This happens in the cases considered in this work. While one can construct a negative-mass star, one cannot expect it to be stable under small hydrodynamical perturbations.
"Notice this gives a classical answer to a problem that may appear to be quantum in nature."
