Conclusion
Magnetic monopoles, massive neutrinos, and gravitation/gravitons are clearly analyzed, discriminated, and categorized by logical experimental unification theory (LEUT), a successor to quantum logic which does not accept anomalies and which replaces effective gauge quantum field theory (the latest version of quantum field theory) by a combination of logic, experiment, set/events, measure, and transformations (especially a generalization of 2+1 dimensional modular transformations). Monopoles are one of the very rare objects which are characterized by only one-way logical-physical influence (single pole) and are obtained in two ways: (1) via Kursunoglu’s confinement process: free monopoles → condensation → confined monopoles constituting fundamental particles, (2) via LEUT’s central point magnetic charge versus surrounding (spherical type) surface area electric charge systems which are similar to condensates described by Kursunoglu but which are predicted for stars, possibly planets, and other large scale matter concentrations. Massive neutrinos have of course been discovered recently and are prime candidates for dark matter, but LEUT derives them as the unique particles which do not intersect/interact with ordinary matter which precludes them from having a massless point like nature since points arise among fundamental particles exclusively from tangential intersection of ordinary matter (as in photons from electron tangency). Gravitons (and gravitation) are uniquely characterized as the unique objects of the universe formed by the intersection of matter and spatial curvature and, unlike monopoles, involve two-way logical-physical influence. Solar/interstellar experiments are proposed for confirming some predictions, including superconductors.
