Re: EPSILON_ZERO, OK ?

Chuck Britton omitted a key part of my posting; I'll interpret
his question to be "How does one search for magnetic monopoles and set
limits on their density?"
The answer is that this is being done at underground detectors
that were set up to measure the lifetime of the proton. Super Kamiokande
is one such detector. There is a theoretical prediction of the minimum
monopole density left over from the Big Bang; my understanding is that
experiments to date have not yet excluded this limit.

we loved to call ourselves by that great name...Our first memorable
scientific discovery was the law that water and like fluids run downhill,
not up.

F = K*Q1*Q2/r^2 puts electricity, magnetism and gravity on the

coulomb (hidden from view) for magnetism. The magnetic coulomb may be
like the color charges of QCD, hidden from public view.
I do not apologize to all who have seen this before.

and where do we find these magnetic monopoles which follow this law?
