We argue that there may exist spacetime defects embedded in Minkowski spacetime, which have negative active gravitational mass. One such spacetime defect then repels a test particle, corresponding to what may be called "antigravity."

May Negative Mass Objects exist in the sky?
gr-qc 2026-02 reject novelty 4.0

Negative-mass objects are conjectured to arise from fluid-plus-cosmological-constant systems and are realized in reverse-engineered scalar and Gauss-Bonnet models, but the standard-gravity derivation contains a sign error.
