We conclude that the dynamic behaviour of antihydrogen atoms is consistent with the existence of an attractive gravitational force between these atoms and the Earth. ... Consequently, we can rule out the existence of repulsive gravity of magnitude 1g between the Earth and antimatter.

It was not surprising, as one would have anticipated. The strange thing would have been if they fell upwards.🤣

Yup, but the experiment was necessary. Nature can be very tricky at times.

But we got the unstrange thing, it rose downwards. 😉
