Like, *PING*, folks.
The idea that the north and south poles of a magnet can exist independently was first proposed by Paul Dirac, a physicist, in 1931.
Does Van Vleck have to return *his* Nobel? I once read that he was *adamant* that there could be no magnetic monopoles...
(Snarks, do you know aught of this story?)
Cheers!

Not this one, g_w. Plus it makes me a bit uncomfortable, all of this talk about monopoles and north poles and south poles and the like...
