but wait! part 5

Another problem that I had not previously known about was the monopole problem. When the physicists figured up all the aspects of the big bang using their theoretical calculations (the use something called the grand unification theory) they predicted something called a magnetic monopole. These monopoles are basically the particle that goes with magnets. You know how electrons and protons are the particles for the eclectic charge and so forth…(well actually it’s the quarks but that’s beside the point) well the monopoles are suppose to be the particle for magnets…but as you probably learned in high school magnets always come in pairs, they come with a north and south pole so you can’t have just one of them. What the theory says is that we there should have been a bunch of monopole particles (north poles) and anti-monopoles (south poles) that were created about the same time the matter and antimatter we talked about earlier was created. But we haven’t found any monopoles. There should be a much of them left, but none of them ever show up. I’m just reading about this issue for the first time so it’s all very new and unfamiliar to me. If anyone knows more about it, please feel free to comment and expound on what we have here.
