Joseph P Farrell – This interesting story was passed along (I forget who did so, so my apologies!) and I have to round out this week of otherwise serious blogs with something fun, and potentially very significant in its own right. Scientists in Spain at the Autonomous University of Barcelona have created a kind of “magnetic wormhole” by using metamaterials (watch the short four minute video for a fuller explanation than the article:
Scientists Created A Wormhole In A Lab [link]
As this article and video make clear, this is a magnetic wormhole, not the gravitationally based Einstein-Rosen bridge, a kind of wormhole that would require gimongous amounts of energy to open and sustain, and which would be – as I’ve mentioned in various interviews before – a “billion times tinier than tiny,” a phrase that, since physicists are enamored of quantization, captures the essence of the idea.
Now what’s interesting to me here, and what fueled all sorts of entertaining high octane speculation on my part when I read the story and watched the video, was really that this “magnetic wormhole” was actually created by creating a kind of magnetic monopole, something that has been theorized about for a long time, but never successfully done, until, apparently, now. Normally, magnetic fields and magnetics are dipole phenomena, which is a fancy way of saying what we all know from elementary school, namely, magnets have two poles, a North and South, but not simply a North one all by itself, or a South one all by itself, which would be a “monopole.”
