I know Dirac had said yes to existence of microscopic monopole by quantum theory, so why not the macroscopic monopole?
A macroscopic magnetic monopole is a hypothetical particle that would have only one magnetic pole, either a north or a south pole, unlike regular magnets which have both.
The existence of a macroscopic magnetic monopole is controversial because it contradicts one of the fundamental laws of physics, known as Gauss's law, which states that magnetic field lines must always form closed loops, making it impossible for a single magnetic pole to exist.
Scientists have attempted to detect macroscopic magnetic monopoles through various experiments, such as studying cosmic rays and high-energy collisions, but so far no conclusive evidence has been found.
The discovery of a macroscopic magnetic monopole would revolutionize our understanding of electromagnetism and could potentially lead to the development of new technologies. It would also have significant implications for our understanding of the universe and the laws of physics.
While there is currently no definitive evidence for the existence of macroscopic magnetic monopoles, some theoretical models and experimental results have suggested the possibility. However, further research is needed to confirm their existence.
