Upper image: 3D diagram of the magnetic wormhole, showing how the magnetic field lines (red) leaving a magnet on the right pass through the wormhole. Bottom: in terms of magnetism the wormhole is undetectable, which means that the magnetic field seems to disappear on the right only to reappear on the left in the form of a magnetic monopole.
