The number density of magnetic monopoles is calculated in the framework of big-bang cosmology on the basis of a solution to the Boltzmann transport equation in evolutionary cosmological models. The product of the mass and the transition probability of the annihilation process for magnetic monopoles is obtained relative to those for protons and is shown to be greater than about 10 to the 20th power. Based on this result, two likely conclusions are made: (1) monopoles exist, but possess a pole-antipole bound state with binding energy of the order of the monopole rest mass; or (2) magnetic monopoles do not exist.
