Presumably you're referring to magnetic monopoles. If magnetism is
defined as the spin component of flowing space (as in a magnet's lines
of force being spinning flux tubes or 'mini wormholes', to the great
looping prominances on the sun), it'd be pretty hard to picture a
monopolar form of magnetism. A planet or a star is a _gravitic_ monopole
because the spatial inflow has no spin; it's just a 'reverse starburst'
flow into the center of mass.
By the very nature of its spin component, magnetism has to
be bipolar (under the spatial-flow model, that is).
Wolter made the tongue-in-cheek remark that magnetic
monopoles are right under our noses all the time. Every current-carrying
(electrical) conductor is a magnetic monopole. The circular field
surrounding the wire is of one magnetic sign (either 'N' or 'S'), with
the "missing" pole residing at the geometric and quantum center of the
wire.. making the wire in effect a 'magnetic monopole'. If a piece of
iron is put into the field, it becomes magnetized and bipolar, restoring
the wire's 'missing' pole.
