I've always been confused about how a magnetic monopole would actually be constructed. I know they're theoretical, but some people do believe they exist...someplace else, or in the early universe.
But how would you structure matter to create such a thing? Has anyone designed any models of how atoms could arrange themselves to only have a single pole? I don't have a conception of how this could actually work in nature.
