No known practical application, but hey, it was just discovered. Besides, new physics is just plain interesting. The discussion of chirality in proteins was an analogy that just added to the confusion if you didnt know a little organic chemistry. Look up chirality in Wikipedia for a little background.
A dark matter universe would be a pretty bleak place because ther would be no ordinary matter, no galaxies, no stars, no planets, no me, no you,
- aarongough 17y agoBut surely dark matter would evolve complex systems the same way that normal matter has... It would probably just be very different to the things we are used to...
- Sandman 17y agoNobody said anything about dark matter: We like symmetry, Dr. Kharzeev, of Brookhaven, noted, but if the symmetry between matter and antimatter had not been broken long ago, “the universe would be a very desolate place.” The reason why universe would be a very desolate place is because if there was symmetry between matter and antimatter, they would immediately annihilate themselves. Why exactly is the observable universe composed almost entirely out of matter and not antimatter is now one of the greatest unsolved problems in physics, although several hypotheses exist - some of which even propose that there is also a universe composed almost entirely out of antimatter.
