No, it only restricted their movement laterally. They were free to move up or down, and they all “chose” down.

But, lateral movement might have indicated that, the anti-gravity existed towards the sides. Those particles were restricted and could not decide otherwise.

But, the particles were restricted and not free to demonstrate free-will. ;)

“lateral movement might have indicated that, the anti-gravity existed towards the sides”

Then it wouldn’t be anti-gravity. Some other force perhaps, but not anti-gravity, since anti-gravity would show a repulsion opposite the center of all the mass in the local area (the center of the earth).

“you demonstrated that you can’t detect sarcasm”

When people in all seriousness post complete ignorance on science threads, it’s often impossible to detect sarcastic posts.
