Like unicorns in legend and art, monopoles have one of something where ordinary counterparts have two. In both cases there is great beauty in this "one-ness," and there are detailed ideas about the nature of such objects. The existence of monopoles would imply very tight constraints on the structure of physics, and this talk is a look at some of the ways monopoles would fit, or not, with other facts we think we know. In particular, the standard model of electroweak and strong interactions implies a rather high minimum value for the mass of a monopole. This takes nothing away from the value of experimental searches for these rare creatures, but gives reason to suspect that accelerator production of monopoles may not be easy to achieve.
