Magnetic Monopole as a Three-Vortex Structure: A Vortex-Based Framework for Magnetic Force Generation
The magnetic monopole, an isolated magnetic charge, has long been proposed to restore the symmetry of Maxwell’s equations, yet it has never been observed as a free particle.
This paper presents a new theoretical model describing the magnetic monopole as a tri-vortex excitation of a superfluid vacuum.
Building on Quark Vortex Theory and the Mushroom Model of the nucleon, the proton and neutron are shown to represent confined monopoles of opposite magnetic polarity, formed by three coupled vortices: two centrifugal and one centripetal.
The same geometry, when unconfined, produces an open magnetic flux corresponding to a free monopole.
Within this hydrodynamic framework, magnetic permeability μ0 is reinterpreted as the shear response of the vacuum, and magnetic charge arises from a circulation imbalance quantified by g = (Γeff / 2π) √(ρ / μ0).
This relation links magnetism directly to vacuum density ρ and vortex dynamics.
The pressure gradient between interacting vortices yields an inverse-square magnetic force, identical in form to gravitation, which is likewise shown to originate from large-scale vortex structures in the same medium.
Energy analysis demonstrates that monopole self-energies range from sub-MeV values for nucleon-sized cores to eV values for causality-limited vortices, eliminating the singularities inherent in point-charge models.
The tri-vortex monopole satisfies all theoretical requirements for magnetic charge: quantized flux, finite energy, topological stability, and dynamic equilibrium.
It also unifies magnetic, electric, gravitational, and nuclear forces under a single physical principle: the self-organized rotation and pressure balance of the superfluid vacuum.
