The solution to a math problem is often negative, but are none-the-less incorrect when tested against the real world. I am looking for things whose value CAN NOT be negative:
Are these examples?
gravity
mass
the length, area, or volume of anything
Are there others?

mass can not be negative, density also.
Area also is positive , pressure also is positive
but length can be negative if you use oriented graphs

1)inertial mass cannot be negative
2) Depending on reverence frame and coordinate system the gravitational force be negative.
3) Again depending on reference frame and coordinate system length, area, and volume can be negative.

Probabilities cannot be negative.
(Probability amplitudes in quantum mechanics can be, leading to many of the fundamental differences between the quantum mechanical world and the classical world).
