Magnetic Monopoles & Magmatter — The Strongest Material in the Universe

Magnetic monopoles are hypothetical particles carrying a single magnetic charge — north with no south — and predicted by grand unified theories to be extraordinarily massive. In this episode, Isaac Arthur explores what these exotic particles would do if they exist, how they could bind together into "magmatter," an ultra-dense material stronger than anything found in nature, and what incredible structures you could theoretically build with it. The video covers the physics of matter without atoms, the staggering energy costs involved, and the jaw-dropping engineering possibilities that magmatter might one day unlock. Written, produced, and narrated by Isaac Arthur as part of the Science & Futurism with Isaac Arthur (SFIA) series. Chapters include an intro, what magnetic monopoles would do, magmatter and matter without atoms, and a deep dive into what you could build — and what it would cost.
