“I’m not trying to put down the experiment or the work in any way,” says Milton, noting that the findings are important in condensed-matter physics. But “they’re not important from a fundamental point of view.”

Add CommentHumm, maybe the fields in the 'monopoles' are still there, just out of 'phase' with the rest of the other fields. Thus why you have them in pairs.

Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisReal Monopoles do exist, (only if some humans (provided they have the facility, to experiment, which would be costly), the ability to concentrate and be of solemn nature, to a solemn civilization).

Monopoles *do* exist!

algore stands to profit handsomely from the $9 Trillion the Greenies want to spend on fixing--something.
It always amazes me how someone can read a very interesting article like this, and reply not with well thought out comments about the advancement of science, but rather a completely unrelated political rant full of wild and false assertions. Our friend Quinn has plainly shown how helpless this quest of educating the masses really is. Why do scientists struggle every day trying to ascertain the truths of the natural world, when the beneficiaries of the struggle are ignoramuses devoid of knowledge and wonder, who get there scientific opinions from FOX news.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisIf these is true, or later provided true.It will break the backbone of physics and cosmology as we know it. I have always thought that for example that not everything in the distant universe was physically at that position as we saw it,Knowing that diffraction and reflection can actually be a possibility that would falsfy some of our observation ,if magnetic monopoles are proved then depending on the distribution of matter that has those properties far in distant universe can introduce that, causing a boundary were mirroring can occur thus multiplication effect, is a possibility, anther is objects seem to move faster when looked after mirroring has occurred, let no one take it seriously for non has been proved yet but its worth thinking about.
