It occurs to me that experiments on magnetic monopoles may only be possible in 0-g, if current theories are correct. They predict monopoles with very large masses (10^16 Gev) and unit magnetic charge. The forces of an atom on a monopole will be much smaller than the force of gravity, so monopoles will fall out of any matter containing them. Perhaps we can find monopoles in the centers of asteroids? -------
