Well, it’s antimatter, not anti-gravity.

I've heard hypothecies that antimatter was normal matter going back in time. But this disproves it since it would have been going in reverse in gravity.

I don’t think it works like that, it’s not as simple as doing the opposite of what we would normally expect the flow of time to dictate.

Nope it doesn't. But if it did it would have been neat!
