FONER@MIT-AI 07/25/82 16:24:10 Re: On magnetic monopoles and FTL To: Space-Enthusiasts at MIT-MC Scientific American recently had a very good article on the mathematical basis and current status of magnetic monopoles. One of the major conclusion of the article was on the apparently tremendous masses of such particles---a monopole was theorized to weigh about as much as an amoeba. Unfortunately, I can't find the article, though I'm prtty sure it was within the last year. If anyone can provide a reference, I and presumably others would be grateful. On the subject of faster-than-light drives (and the apparent violations of causality and other important physical laws that such things imply), I too would be very interested to find out if anyone has done anything that shows any sort of support for such drives. Alas, such research looks like it will be another Dean Drive affair. <LNF>
