A star entity would be made of relatively normal matter (compared to some other things), even mediated through magnetic fields, and would be working on not entirely dissimilar time constraints from us, so it is difficult to see how that could work.
I am not a physicist but I think this is a moot point when the entire basis of the paper is string theory and requires the existence of hypothetical monopole particles to encode information like DNA. This is all sounds like wild speculation built on top of the most speculative theoretical physics still active in academia.
- jerf 4y agoI decided to cut them a bit of slack on that point, since you can build a magnetic monopole quasiparticle, apparently: https://gizmodo.com/elusive-magnetic-monopole-phenomenon-found-hiding-in-ol-1821129975 https://gizmodo.com/elusive-magnetic-monopole-phenomenon-fou... which would probably do what they want. Though, again, how to keep any "quasiparticle" coherent/retaining the necessary properites in the middle of a star is, to put it charitably, an open question.
