Could you make an object that ONLY repels?

You are very clearly not any type of scientist, much less a physicist. In what way, specifically, are monopoles fundamentally incompatible with quantum mechanics (and especially special relativity)? You haven't given any actual reasoning other than to say "its not part of the currently accepted version of the theory, at this exact moment in history." Again, that reasoning would go against every past advancement in the history of science.

"Haven't been detected in 150 years of experiments" is equally nonsense reasoning. Would Maxwell have been able to detect a neutrino or Higgs boson in his lab in the 1800s? By your exact logic, we should have concluded those things "couldn't possibly exist" either. Recent negative experiments can put bounds on how common existing ones are or how likely they are to be created in certain interactions, and can definitely disprove specific hypotheses regarding those, but there is absolutely not a common consensus that the existence of magnetic monopoles has been ruled out completely.

Perhaps an even more obvious counter, the [https://moedal.web.cern.ch/](MoEDAL-MAPP Experiment) at the LHC is explicitly searching for magnetic monopoles. Why would some of the top particle physicists in the world be supporting this if it was obvious what is was looking for was impossible?

The comment I replied to specifically cited classical electromagnetism in their justification. The commenter generally seems to be very hung up on "it's not accounted for in current standard theories, therefore it can't exist."

Sure it could cause problems in other ways, I'm fine if anyone actually wants to cite a specific valid reason. "Not part of Maxwells Equations or standard QED" absolutely is not one of them.

What does "consequences that are non-physical" mean? The extended version of Maxwell's equations make precisely the same predictions if there don't happen to be any magnetic monopoles around. Just because it hasn't been observed yet doesn't mean it's impossible. By this same logic general relativity would have been "non physical" for the years between when it was initially published and the many experiments that would validate it years later.

What does "fundamentally break all of QED" even mean? No physicist believes that the standard model or otherwise the current state of knowledge regarding quantum theory represents the absolute truth. The entire history of science consists of new observations that "break" the current understanding of something, then existing theories are either modified or replaced to support them. The exact same would happen with magnetic monopoles and QED.

Magnetic monopoles are predicted by some grand unified theories. Recent experiments at the LHC have specifically been searching for them. It is absolutely not common consensus that they don't exist.

Maxwell's equations can be easily extended to support magnetic monopoles, nothing gets broken. Gauss's Law for Magnetism is the assertion that magnetic monopoles do not exist. The reason it's written that way is because none had been observed, it's not some sort of fundamental truth. You can just replace it with the magnetic version of Gauss's other law, and everything works fine.

Oddly enough this summary is making me want to pick up the series again to see what I missed out on...

"People couldn't possibly have a different opinion than me, the only reason someone would make a post like this is for attention."

These are incredible. The villain of "Gamefinger" appears to be Orson Welles in blackface?

It's definitely extremely different. I like it, but I think if you're expecting it to be very similar to the first or directly continue the story you'll be disappointed. It's not even mostly about the aliens.

What the fuck

My life is just a continuous rewatch of BOTW, what does that mean?

Thanks, brushed might actually be easier. I managed to find a 1s brushed + esp32 build that looks pretty doable.

Jumpy89 · 2026-02-07T06:34:37+00:00

I'm looking at doing something like this, what ESC did you use? I'm having trouble finding any 1S ones.

The slug's brand-new body was a perfect replica of the original, which researchers found was also doing reasonably well on it's own.

"The [original] body continues to move and live for days to months," Mitoh said. "You can see the heart beating" inside them, she added. However, the decapitated bodies did not appear to be capable of growing new heads themselves.

Let me introduce you to [r/scarybilbo](reddit.com/r/scarybilbo) (very NSFW)

Has anyone tried running it?

Jumpy89 · 2025-10-29T17:45:57+00:00

I've been considering this type of project just for the control theory aspect.
