Incoming vibe killer: no, farts do not count as negative mass. They do in fact have positive mass. You will weigh ever so slightly less after farting. And, in theory, if you were in a frictionless environment, you could propel yourself by farting, because the fart’s mass would act as a reaction mass and propel you like a (very weak and stinky) rocket.
Negative mass would be a very weird thing that breaks physics in a lot of ways, and probably isn’t physically possible in the first place. Allowing faster-than-light travel is only one of many stupid ways negative mass would horribly wreck all known physics.
Well, nothing (with nonnegative mass) can move faster than light through space. Space itself can do whatever it wants to.
I don’t know why maybe the painkillers are speaking but I have to ask, does farts count as negative mass?
I’ll take my leave…

Okay … enjoy your painkillers, man.

Well, the thing space is moving into and across. Or the nothing.
