IOW I think the strings have a North pole on one end and a South pole on the other end. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/Project.html I'm fairly sure this is true. There is no net monopole, no accumulation of one pole or the other feasible by this means. However, this doesn't prevent the poles from moving around inside the condensed matter in an independent manner, thus generating magnetic current. What is amazing to me is the fact such long filaments, which must be the equivalent of superconducting solenoids in the shape of spaghetti, can be so long and flexible and have the ability to freely move through condensed matter. It makes me wonder if there might exist a dual universe, where electric charge and magnetic charge have been exchanged. Best regards, Horace Heffner http://www.mtaonline.net/~hheffner/

Isn't such a claim considered heresy within the scientific community? How acceptable and/or respectful are these findings? Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
