Question:

If magnetic monopoles actually existed and could be isolated, would we be able to .?

build a magnetic counter part to electronic circuits? If monopoles did exist, do you think it would be possible to use them to create a different type of communications and perhaps even transportation systems? I wonder what a monopole circuit would look like when compared to an electrical circuit.Best regards

Answer:

I envy you, you're so current. I really need to learn how to use the internet better. The findings with regards to Dirac strings and in particular so called spin ice if proven to be more than just flipping poles, ( ultimately a true monopole should be a singe pole not one separated from its opposite by strings or anything else.) could in my view be very interesting in information transfer.spend some think time on that, it's more suited to you I think not only in computers but could in my imagination, lead to electricity being transferred in the same way as radio waves. Now if they found monopoles at the LHC then we could be talking about repelling matter anti gravity vehicles etc. I wonder which addition/ adjustment to the BB theory they'd make before admitting defeat. Sorry, just had to get that in.
It Goes against the law of physics to isolate a Magnetic Pole. So its impossible to say what could or could not be achieved as a consequence.
