Magnetic Monopoles

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Science Institutes Series ((NSSB,volume 102))

Abstract

Since its first expression by Pierre of Maricourt, in a letter written during the siege of Lucera, Italy in 1269,1 the notion of a magnetic pole has been seen as simple and useful. With the passage of time, and especially in recent years, the idea of isolated poles increasingly has been perceived as beautiful and rich in implications for the fundamental structure of physics, perhaps even of the Universe.
