“Magnetic monopoles” (as well as dipoles) do not physically exist, they are only inaccurate, confusing technical terms.
field. The magnetic field is the consequence of the MOTION OF ELECTRICAL CHARGES. This fact is expressed by Lorentz law (FORCE).
All magnetic phenomena are joined with motion: rotation (spin), orbiting around the atom nucleus, current in a wire or motion of free electrons in vacuum (electron beam).

The electric field is “external manifestation” of electrically Charged particle(s), most often electron(s). The magnetic field is “external manifestation” of the motion of the electrical charge(s), unlike the electric field. Electrons are real elementary particles. There are no “magnetic particles”, which would “produce” magnetic field. All magnetic phenomena are linked with motion of electrons, e.g. rotation (spin), orbiting around the atom nucleus, motion of conduction electrons (electrical current), or free electrons in vacuum (electron beam). This fact follows from Maxwell equations (Lorentz law).

Magnetic monopoles have not been found because the search has been in the wrong dimension. Electrical charges can be separated by space to expose the electrical field between them as long as they are at the same time and for us is now. Magnetic monopoles (charges) can be separated by time (past and future) to expose the magnetic field between them as long as they are at the same space and for us is a singularity. When a charge changes its location in space it involves space/time. Since we only observe the now and we don’t notice that the magnetic monopoles have become separated in time and we only observe the magnetic field that is exposed. When a magnetic monopole moves in time from past to future or future to past depending on the “polarity” of the monopole it involves space/time. We observe the exposed electrical charge in a location in space (negative or positive depending upon the direction of movement in time of the monopole) but not the movement in time of the monopole.

Adam.Selene/ the Fenyman series indeed postulates existence of monopoles would require violation. . . O.K. I pulled out my Fermi Series, Sorry–Check into the discussion along the weak anthropic viz. equivalence discussion of a force from nothing a inertial anistropy within the structure of the universe. The Cassimer affect if you recall, and the energy argument from field theories. Two planer-parallel mirrors. Here, attention should present electron dynamics in superlattice.

How does this “magnetic monopole” effect differ from the diamagnetism bismuth is known to exhibit?

Holy cow ArthurH. You seem a little too serious.

If we can’t have fun and make jokes, what’s it all for?

If I remember correctly, there is a discussion in the Feynmann lectures showing that a magmonopole would violate conservation laws.

(might have been in lecture, and not the book though)

Any thoughts?

and you are the mature one?

Don’t make such joking statements. This is a serious subject, not something for toys and children’s cartoons like the Gundams.

There might be a similar concept in those cartoons but jumping to conclusions like that isn’t very mature.
