I maintain nonetheless that yin-yang dualism can be overcome.
With sufficient enlightenment we can give substance to any
distinction: mind without body, north without south, pleasure
without pain. Remember, enlightenment is a function of willpower,
not of physical strength.

Magnetism, like electricity and gravity, is one of the fundamental forces of the universe. Prior to research in Superstring Theory and Silksteel Alloys, all known magnets were dipolar, with a north and a south pole. Development of a Monopole Magnet permits radical new applications for science and industry.
