BOUT TIME!!:lmfao::naughty:

Researchers have discovered a magnetic equivalent to electricity: single magnetic charges that can behave and interact like electrical ones.

The work is the first to make use of the magnetic monopoles that exist in special crystals known as spin ice.

Writing in Nature journal, a team showed that monopoles gather to form a "magnetic current" like electricity.

The phenomenon, dubbed "magnetricity", could be used in magnetic storage or in computing.

Magnetic monopoles were first predicted to exist over a century ago, as a perfect analogue to electric charges.

Although there are protons and electrons with net positive and negative electric charges, there were no particles in existence which carry magnetic charges. Rather, every magnet has a "north" and "south" pole.

Current event

In September this year, two research groups independently reported the existence of monopoles - "particles" which carry an overall magnetic charge. But they exist only in the spin ice crystals.

These crystals are made up of pyramids of charged atoms, or ions, arranged in such a way that when cooled to exceptionally low temperatures, the materials show tiny, discrete packets of magnetic charge.

Hi guys :original:
The reason it sounds familiar and you have read it elsewhere is because WE already know it and are aware roughly how the process works.

The point of the post however, was to highlight WHERE it was found .... right on the top news story (for a second day now) on a mainstream news site. :lol3: Also to highlight the use of the word pyramid. This is THEM announcing to the public at large that 1. A new power source is on its way in time. 2. Pyramid power :mfr_lol:

This is the begining of PUBLIC disclosure perhaps?
They sure as hell aint going to start off with spaceships :mfr_lol::lmao:

But the public will be informed that it is a "recent" discovery...and all will be greatful to TPTB for "giving" it to us....
