So far no particle with negative mass have been discovered.

And scientific theories based on what we observe and meant to describe what we observe.

We can plug in the numbers for negative mass but what we get doesn't mean it would make physical sense. It would be mere speculation.


The problem with negative mass that it would lead to runaway reactions.

First the negative mass would accelerate towards the otheropposite direction of the force acted upon it. This means a bullet with negative mass fired at a wall would go through the other side of the wall faster than it went inside. Air drag would make it even faster. Leading to a run-away system however small amount of negative mass we speak of. A tiny bullet and its shards would eventually destroy everything as it get more and more negative kinetic energy. That's not good.
