starship-design: magnetic monopoles
Steve and Kyle,
I noticed your discussion of monopoles.
I'm not yet certain, but a collection of dipoles placed with the south
poles inside the sphere and the north poles placed outside is just that,
a collection of dipoles. A monopole should have only a single pole,
regardless of where you place your sensors. A plot of the magnetic lines
of force might help demonstrate this.
