First shoot your rabbit and skin it
New Scientist just had a somewhat optimistic piece about making a whole new
Universe in a laboratory, essentiall a black hole which would bubble off and form a completely new Universe.. The premise is that a new Universe occurs when matter pours into a magnetic monople in a certain way. When this happens, the monople forms a new Universe. If this is true, we know there is at least one magnetic monopole somewhere in our Universe, because this is how it was created. However, there is no priveleged point in the Universe, so it could be literally anywhere within 20 billion light years from here. Finding it and returning it to a laboratory on Earth may therefore prove a little more difficult ... Peter Webb (Sorry no link - subscriber only content) |

Peter Webb (Sorry no link - subscriber only content) Actually we do know exactly where every magnetic monopole in the Universe is: confined to the deluded brains of a small but vocal group of theoretical physicists who would not know nature if it jumped up and bit them the their rears.
