Do magnetic monopoles actually exist? And is it possible for us to create them in a particle elerator or some other way? How much energy would it take to create one, if this is even a possibility? We don't know whether monopoles exist. There is, they could exist, theoreticallyob by which i mean we can construct physical theories that are compatible with all the physics that we know in the world and allow for the existence of magnetic monopoles. In fact, famously, grand unified field theories generally predict monopoles. Maybe i will when i get to baltimore. Maybe ill fire up the old painting studio again. You never know. And then i can excel them
Welcome to the April 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
