exotic matter

Negative energy material

Exotic matter is hypothetical material with properties that violate known physical laws—most notably, negative mass or negative energy density.

In theoretical physics, exotic matter would be required to stabilize wormholes or enable faster-than-light travel: The equations suggest exotic matter could keep the wormhole open.

No exotic matter has been observed or created; it remains a mathematical concept explored in general relativity and science fiction alike.
