Abstract
IN the last number of the Proceedings of the Royal Society, Dirac has come to the conclusion that the quantum theory requires the existence of discrete magnetic poles of a strength equal to 137 ÷ 2 times the electronic charge. If such objects were common one might expect the universe to be a good deal different from what experimenters have found it to be, so far.
