Magnetic Dipole

The physicist that observed a possible magnetic monopole in 1982 is Blas Cabrera Navarro, not to be confused with his grandfather, Blas Cabrera Felipe, who was also a physicist but died in 1945, long before the claimed observation. Also very slightly tweaked the language so that the text does not state in absolute terms that this observation was definitely due to a magnetic monopole.

	Although electrostatics and magnetics have a lot in common, one difference is that magnetic poles cannot exist singly like charges can. Poles always come in N/S pairs. If you were to cut a bar magnet in half, you will get two new magnets with North and South poles.

	A magnetic monopole was observed once, by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/~~Blas_Cabrera~~ \| Blas Cabrera], on February 14, 1982 (also known as the Valentine's Day Monopole). However, this experiment has been recreated several times, and no one, not even Cabrera himself, has been able to find another monopole.
