  • I think I remember hearing that it would react with dark matter the same way.

    Like matter, it doesn’t interact with dark matter to any detectable degree.

    I say “doesn’t” on purpose, because we have small containers of the stuff tucked away in labs, and it’s (momentarily) created as an inevitable byproduct of particle accelerators and certain radioactive decays.

    So my question is, does anti-dark matter exist, and what are it’s properties?

    Nobody knows what dark matter is beyond it being everywhere and heavy, so double don’t-know. There’s no particular reason to think it would follow a similar pattern, though.
