DRIFT MOTION OF THE MAGNETIC MONOPOLE OF POLJAKOV-’t HOOFT IN THE AIR AND THE ‘BALL-LIGHTNING’ PHENOMENON
Abstract
By virtue of theoretical investigations of V. Rubakov on nucleons and nuclei decay with monopole-nucleon interaction, a qualitative analysis of the drift motion of the ‘mon’ in the air is conducted. The physical picture obtained coincided in detail with the descriptions of the ‘ball-lightning’, for which reason ‘ball-lightning’ is considered evidence for the magnetic monopole.
