Burns Vectors are male cult objects. : mburns@indirect.com Monopoles imply perpetual motion. O.K. now I'm the first to admit that i don't have much experience with Maxwell's equations, I've delt with the consequences briefly, and some time ago. But how does the monopole cause perpetual motion? And i know that monopoles are theoretically possible, but we haven't found any, (this doesn't disprove the theories, but makes your apparatus impossible to build) And how does energy get supplied to compensate for friction?
