Woit posits a right handed universe. So does life imitate art?
Chirality refers to the property of asymmetry where a molecule cannot be superimposed on its mirror image. In the context of DNA, this means that the structure of DNA has a specific "handedness." The most common form of DNA, known as B-DNA, is a right-handed helix. This right-handed chirality is essential for the stability and functionality of DNA, influencing how it interacts with enzymes during processes like replication and transcription.
Watson, Crick, Yang, Lee now may be a codiscovery. Maybe
