This seems to be a narrow argument about chirality, rather than some "panspermia" kind of claim.

There's no such thing as a slow news day. There's a war in Iraq, another in Afganistan, a genocide in Sudan, a presidential campaign, and probably some right wing blowhard having fun in a public restroom somewhere.
So what the hell was the Times thinking with this one? The premise appears to be…

Methinks this article from the NYTimes is a tad hysterical:
They work long hours, often to exhaustion. Many are paid by the piece -- not garments, but blog posts. This is the digital-era sweatshop. You may know it by a different name: home.
A growing work force of home-office laborers and…
On Writing and the Internet: Data Is the New Alcohol « Lev Grossman
"A lot of writers have been ruined by addictions in the past. Heroine, alcohol, etc. Me, I don't have big -- big -- problems with drugs and alcohol. (I have in fact, over the past 6 months, moderated my drinking, something I…
Breslow's argument includes a 10,000 C plasma fireball upon meteorite impact, a poor start for organic synthesis. Chiral protein amino acids are L-configuration, natural chiral sugars are D-configuration. Pookie pookie.
Replace achiral pseudo-Riemannian spacetime curvature with chiral Weitzenböck spacetime torsion. Obtain a chiral vacuum background differentially active only toward mass configuration - EM is inert. General Relativity works to spec given no natural resolved chiral bodies (meat and wood cancel on Earth). The chiral vacuum effect is 10^(-12) relative or smaller post-inflation.
Massed sector chiral vacuum is testable. A parity Eötvös experiment opposing chemically identical cultured solid single crystal quartz would do it: one set of test masses in space group P3(1)21 (right-handed screw axes) and the other in space group P3(2)21 (left-handed screw axes).
Somebody should look.
Hi Chad,
glad you appreciated my attempt at popularizing calorimeters...
Cheers,
