I Imagine...
I imagine the universe as a bunch of magnetic rocks of varying sizes
(suspended by magnetism). And I bet, that it could be possible to create a model of this using the right type of rocks. But it would not be fun to have to measure the forces between each rock. This model must be easy to make - having the appearance of those "snow globes". A "Shake-And-Make" universe. Lol. |

You'd better do a search on magnetic monopoles... Try: http://www.aip.org/physnews/graphics/html/monopole.htm It is possible that they can exist, but there are very specific constraints now, on what mass they may have, if they do exist. Fermilab especially has been working to try to find the particle. The possibility that such a particle exists, is allowed for in the Maxwell equations, and this would be the magnetic equivalent of the electron. If it exists, it would help enormously in unifying the magnetic and electric theories. However the 'search range', has been getting smaller for some years, with no sign yet of such particles.

Isn't Alan Guth's inflation theory supposed to explain why monopoles haven't been observed? Instead of being about as common as gold, there's perhaps only one in the whole observable universe. -- "Forty millions of miles it was from us, more than forty millions of miles of void" |

That helps explain the lack of 'natural' ones. The search work is trying to create them with particle accelerators. The 'search range' is shrinking with each successive test, so it'll be interesting to see if they do actually appear eventually... Best Wishes |
