There are many fascinating oddities in nature. One that I wondered about is the mire symmetry of rotational polarization. All life that we know of follow the right hand rule, yet we know that we can create chemically, molecules with left rotational polarization. These molecules are inert to biological life and thus unusable by living organisms. Thus all life on Earth seems to be connected from a common origin.

Is this universal or is there life based on left rotational polarization molecules?

If all live in the universe follow the right handed rule, then it is due to the initial event or "Big Bang" having angular momenta that gave preference to the right hand molecules for life?

this question is not yet settled by anyone. see some ideas at

Good thread starter Dave,
I am left handed ,maybe I am not of this universe!What do you think?






kindwst regards michael.

Hi Antonio;
Thanks for the Link. I guess I wasn't expecting an answer; just found this possibility to be interesting.


Michael;
Being left handed don't count; however it does mean that you are using more of your left brain for creative thinking. Unfortunately it limits the amount of right side of the brain that you can use for logic.

Best wishes;
Dave

I am left handed too and was starting to write using my left hand until my grandfather forced me to write with my right hand ever since.

I too am left handed! Well, I'm kind of mixed up and ambidextrous to tell you the truth, in that I write best with my left hand (I write with my right hand too) but when it comes to sports like baseball, tennis, whatever, I'm definitely better right-handed. Anyway, fascinating thread topic dleviwing! The evidence does point to the idea that all life on Earth has a common origin. Why this is I can't say, but I am definitely curious.

ps. I can tell you that the fact that most people are right-handed might have something to do with the right-handed polarization of molecules in the long connected scheme of things. Any takers?

I'm the inverse (or vice versa) of you! I write with the right hand, but in sports it's always left hand or left leg!!!!

Universal life,common origin,when I think of us becomming,through evolution it
would follow the right handed thread,would be used on the outward expulsion of
mindful ideation and the arising of power through focussed intention.So all the
while that the universe is evolving it will expand with the right handed spiral or vortex,when this has reached its climax and the intention-Idea is withdrawn,
then there will be a reversal of spin,and all will begin the left hand path!!
So the time to start worrying is when you notice the changeover taking place.
There isplenty of (time) though the obscuration process is gradual andtakes millions of years.


kind regards michael.

Sub;
If you are curious of this topic you should try and find copies of the "Feynman Lectures at UCLA" on quantum physics and symmetry. NMT may have them in their library.

I am also left handed. I thought that left handers had a dominant right brain or are you refering to something else?

Interesting that we have so many lefties here.
Why don"t we do a lefty/righty pole?
