An Attempt to construct the Standard Model with monopoles

We construct a model in which stable magnetic monopoles have magnetic charges that are identical to the electric charges on leptons and quarks and the colored monopoles are confined by strings in color singlets.

grand unified theory: SU(5)
postulated particle: magnetic monopole
charge: magnetic
color: magnetic monopole
string model
