If Gravity Sucks What Blows? 

That’s a really interesting question. Speaking (as a chemist), I think there are a few points to understand. First, ‘exotic matter’ is a blanket term for any kind of matter that we don’t normally find in the environment around us. Most (all?) exotic matter does not have negative mass. Next, we can make normal matter behave _as if_ it had negative mass. Most experiments involve super-cooling atoms and making use of quantum mechanical effects that only work on very small amounts of matter constrained in highly particular ways (confining individual atoms with lasers, for example). I am generally concerned about this type of experiment since I think it’s easy to cover up a very simple effect with a very complex system. For example, you can easily make a large particle that behaves as if it has negative mass by filling a balloon with helium gas and surrounding it with air. It moves upwards under the influence of gravity and if you put it in a car and accelerate, it will move to the front of the car, not the back. Physicists tend not to want to work with this system, however, since the simplicity is obvious. Finally, theoretical physicists often predict strange behaviour based on extending theories and analysing their associated equations. These usually end up going nowhere, but they can make important predictions that give experimentalists an idea of where to look. Historical examples include anti-matter, black holes and the Higgs boson. So when an equation predicts something interesting *with observable properties*, experimentalists sit up and pay attention. If there aren’t observable properties, however, the theories are ‘just’ philosophy. Fun to play around with, and they may inspire real science somewhere else but they aren’t science. A classic example is the many universe explanation for the weirdness of quantum mechanics. So, is it helpful or just nonsense? Well it’s certainly helpful as an exercise in theoretical physics, but no one can say at the moment if it will ever produce something genuinely useful.

I think it's generated after the lightning strikes, not before.

I think you're heads in the wrong place. Keep educating yourself bub
