I don't understand this result. How would this experiment be able to detect the "antigravity" of antimatter? If the Earth is curving space time in one direction and then antimatter is curving space time in the opposite direction, would not relative impact of the antimatter be so negligible to be undetectable? We are talking about the ability to "unbend" space time of what a particle or two relative to the mass of the earth? So what if it falls, that just means its barely unbending space time.
To use an analogy, Let's say I am on the Amazon river (fastest river according to google). You want to detect which way I was swimming. Would you even be able to detect the marginal effects of me swimming upstream relative to the massively more impactful force from the river?
I am sure the problem here is me, so if someone can correct my thinking.
