Default 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 ...

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.
