We cannot possibly say. All of our theories are based of observations of 
positive mass. We can plug negative numbers into the equations, and 
extrapolate, but we have no way of knowing whether the extrapolation is 
valid.

In short, we can say nothing about the behaviour of negative mass until 
we find some.
