Learned by Reading

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

If magnetic monopoles were produced they might induce protons to decay and thus destroy normal matter.
(Parse)

In Wikipedia:

He has also worked in black holes, vortices, Chern – Simons theory, magnetic monopoles in gauge theories and cosmic inflation.
(Parse)

In Wikipedia:

This also involves an interchange of the electrically charged particles and magnetic monopoles.
(Parse)

In Wikipedia:

A further, particularly interesting, family of examples is provided by the Bogomolny equations (for a given gauge group and oriented Riemannian 3 – fold), the [Formula 1] solutions of which are magnetic monopoles.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Magnetic monopoles have also been mentioned, but calculations show that the dangerous ones are too heavy to be created by the LHC; anything light enough to be within reach of the collider would only destroy a total of one microgram of matter before leaving the earth.

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Microscopic black holes, stanglets, vacuum bubbles, magnetic monopoles and cosmic rays? supposedly it’s perfectly safe but there’s still a chance that when the LHC goes live on the 10 September, the world will end.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Concerns have been raised (including two legal challenges) regarding the safety of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on the grounds that high – energy particle collisions performed in the LHC might produce dangerous phenomena, including micro black holes, strangelets, vacuum bubbles and magnetic monopoles.
(Parse)

In Wikipedia:

) The only known mechanisms for the creation of magnetic dipoles are by current loops or quantum – mechanical spin since the existence of magnetic monopoles has never been experimentally demonstrated.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Some speculative theories suggest that, if they do exist, magnetic monopoles could cause protons to decay.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Nevertheless, if the magnetic monopoles were light enough to appear at the LHC, cosmic rays striking the Earth’s atmosphere would already be making them, and the Earth would very effectively stop and trap them.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Magnetic fields do not arise from magnetic monopoles, but are in fact the result of applying special relativity to moving electric charges.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Some have questioned the safety of the Large Hadron Collider, claiming that the use of a particle beam of such magnitude could possible cause the development of dangerous phenomena including micro black holes, strangelets, vacuum bubbles and magnetic monopoles.
(Parse)

In Wikipedia:

(The concept of local gauge invariancesee gauge theory belowprovides a natural explanation of charge quantization, without invoking the need for magnetic monopoles; but only if the U (1) gauge group is compact, in which case we will have magnetic monopoles anyway.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Also, TOTEM will look at the total cross section, LHCf for something else, and a place will look for magnetic monopoles.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

If magnetic monopoles were produced they might induce protons to decay and thus destroy normal matter.
(Parse)

In Wikipedia:

All these properties are deduced in theoretical models – – magnetic monopoles have never been observed, nor have they been produced in any experiment so far.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Anyway, here’s what I did this summer in scattered bits: Got really interested in various things only to jettison them a couple of days later, more towards the beginning of the summer I started reading about magnetic monopoles and most good books on the subject are too damn hard at least for now so that interest kind of died.

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Magnetic monopoles’ ’ eat proton.”
