>High-energy neutrino telescopes, such as the IceCube telescope, are not only sensitive to neutrinos; `they can also be used to detect other exotic particles, including magnetic monopoles`. >>Magnetic monopoles are `hypothetical` elementary particles comprised of an isolated magnet with a single magnetic pole. It's no wonder people don't take science seriously. How much tax money was spent on detecting hypotheses? Cherenkov radiation pffft. Heres a quote from [this](https://journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevD.93.053006) article. >We revisit the `theory of Cherenkov radiation` in uniaxial crystals. Historically, a number of flawed attempts have been made at explaining this radiation phenomenon, and `a consistent error-free description is nowhere available`.
