🔍Physicists have been hunting for magnetic monopoles, a particle with only one magnetic pole, for centuries.
🧲Magnetic monopoles would represent a fundamental shift in our understanding of electromagnetism and require a rethinking of Maxwell's equations.
🔄Quantum field theories and grand unified theories predict the existence of magnetic monopoles.
🌌Magnetic monopoles are hypothesized to have formed in the early universe but may be exceedingly rare in our observable universe.
🔬Physicists continue to search for evidence of magnetic monopoles using a variety of experimental techniques.
