[edit] some issues

First of all i think the notation in this page needs to be cleaned up, but i'm no good at it so someone should do it :-P. Second I have an issue with this statement:

"Thus there is no E0 (electric monopoles) or M0 (magnetic monopoles) radiation (the latter is forbidden because magnetic monopoles do not seem to exist)."

Would magnetic monopole radiation be allowed even if magnetic monopoles existed? I would think that the same reason there isn't electric monopole radiation (conserved current plus gauss' law) would also prevent magnetic monopole radiation. Achoo5000 19:29, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
