Magnetic Monopoles

Více o knize

The book explores the relationship between beauty, symmetry, and theoretical physics, suggesting that a quest for higher symmetry underlies significant advancements in the field. It discusses the concept of broken symmetries in nature, particularly the elusive magnetic monopole, which symbolizes the lost symmetry between electric and magnetic forces. Despite lacking experimental evidence, the hypothesis of magnetic monopoles has persisted for over a century, captivating physicists and driving ongoing research into the fundamental structures of the universe.
