depth of the wells. This simple fact might explain the unsolved cusp/core problem of
galactic halos [14].
But what happens in the center of galaxies must also happen to a lesser degree in the
center of the sun, the planets, the earth and the moon. To "mine" negative matter, if it
should exist there, excludes the sun, and also all planets, that have a hot molten core.
This does not exclude the moon, however, having the deepest potential well near the
earth, with only hot rocks in its center accessible by advanced nuclear mining
technology, permitting in principle constructing a tunnel through the moon [15].
11. Searching for Negative Matter in the Gravitational
Potential Well of the Moon
The radius of the moon is R=l.74xH>8cm and the gravitational acceleration at its
surface is g 0 ~ 1.62xl02 cm/s 2 . At a distance r < R from its center the gravitational
acceleration is
g(r)~-g"(r/R) (105)
and the pressure balance equation is
dp r
dr~-p/foR, (106)
where p = p(r) is the pressure for r < R. The pressure at the center therefore is
(107)
With p ~ 3.33g I cm·' the average density of the moon, one finds

The temperature T can be estimated from the equation Pnm = nkT , where
k =1.38x I 0- 16 erg/K is the Boltzmann constant and n ~ 1023 cm-J the atomic number
