Magnetic monopole experiment at CERN could rewrite laws of physics "Pinfold says the discovery of electronic monopoles will open up a whole new future for materials and technology if scientists can produce large numbers of them. "Monopoles could make materials strong enough to withstand a nuclear explosion and could also enable magnetic levitation." This is what has been seen in LeClair's experiments. The monopole field produced at the head of the water crystal can withstand nuclear bomb level energy. Why the monopole field can be so durable as a material shield is not clear to me yet.
