The Holy Grail is a sacred object figuring
into literature and certain Christian traditions,
most often identified with the dish, plate, or cup
used by Jesus at the Last Supper and said to possess
miraculous powers. The connection of Joseph of
Arimathea with the Grail legend dates from Robert de
Boron's Joseph d'Arimathie (late 12th century) in
which Joseph receives the Grail from an apparition
of Jesus and sends it with his followers to Great
Britain; building upon this theme, later writers
recounted how Joseph used the Grail to catch
Christ's blood while interring him and that in
Britain he founded a line of guardians to keep it
safe. The quest for the Holy Grail makes up an
important segment of the Arthurian cycle, appearing
first in works by Chrétien de Troyes. The legend may
combine Christian lore with a Celtic myth of a
cauldron endowed with special powers.
Got surprised too, and even do not believe half the
time reading this article , which states that the
magnetic monopole has been observed. Ah, yes one of
the holy grail of physicists could be as soon as it
found?
Apparently, after reading further details, among
others, in the original paper , it seems that has
been found is the ' quasiparticles 'which is the
quantum state of a system of many objects. '
quasiparticles 'can indeed have unique properties
such as charge or spin fractions that do not satisfy
Bose-Einstein statistics and Fermi-Dirac .
But the question now, if the monopole is truly
elementary particles, then does this mean that
undermine the validity of one of Maxwell's
equations: div H = 0? Just a reminder only, a matter
of Maxwell's equations and their relation to
magnetic monopole ever I write here , although only
in a joking context.
The next point is, even if it is the quasiparticle ,
remain somewhat difficult to understand how the
dipole-dipole as " building blocks "can produce a
resultant effect as a monopole ? You see, it's
easier to understand the effect of the combination
of the two dipoles for generating the dipole
stronger, quadrupole , or neutral, depending on the
relative orientation between the two.
Magnetic monopole has actually been postulated since
the days of Paul Dirac. In 1934, in a classic paper,
analyzed the possibility eksisnya Dirac magnetic
monopole in the context of Abelian gauge theory (
Maxwell's electrodynamics ). Dirac came to the
conclusion that the existence of magnetic monopole
could explain why electric charge is quantized.
Of course, as we know, postulated eksistansi naively
magnetic charge can bring the implications of
Maxwell's equations will be inconsistent. However,
Dirac showed that these inconsistencies can be
avoided if we assume an axis singularity eksisnya
who pulled from the center of the monopole to
infinity. It is this line singularity known as the
Dirac string (no relation to string theory!).
Implications fisisnya, the magnetic potential can
not be defined for the entire space, but there are
areas where there is overlap between the two
functions of a different magnetic potential (due to
the transformation of gauge ).
At the same time in 1974, Gerardus t'Hooft of
Utrecht and Alexander Polyakov (at that time at the
Landau Institute, Moscow, now living in Princeton)
postulated that the magnetic monopole exist
naturally in the framework of non-abelian gauge
theory in which the transformation group gauge its
compact nature (as in the Georgi-Glashow theory
obsolete SO (3) for elektroweak ), in contrast to
the existence of magnetic monopole in the abelian
gauge theory which demands the existence of Dirac
strings.
We make this grail made of gem stones, by
magical powers of gods with magnetic monopole.
