Abstract
It is suggested that the existence of gravitomagnetic monopoles may imply not only the quantisation of mass-energy but also the quantisation of frequency (and other rate-like quantities). It is possible that the magnitude of the poles may be determined by cosmological considerations and whilst it is unlikely that they can exist except at large distances from the Earth, their detection is, in principle, possible using gyroscopic rings. It is shown that these detection processes may involve an effect in which gyro-particles are created or destroyed.Keywords
