[  Mood: Shocked ]

Okay, so I recently read how scientists have discovered a way to locate magnetic monopoles within a magnetic and I was shocked. Now to explain what a monopole, let me first give some background information. As a child knows and as I was taught in Physics, a magnet has two parts: a North side and a South side and the magnetic field always seem to flow from the North to the South. Normally and up until now, it has always been assumed that magnets would always have this duality, especially since when one breaks a magnet it still has a North and South side. And it would be impossible to find a monopole. But now scientists have created a substance which actually acts like monopoles and even has magneticiy, a term for the magnetic current that the team observed.

This could have a great effect our understanding of theoretical physics and is a great step towards quantum computers.
