Consider the DNA spiral, I have seen images of both clockwise and anti-clockwise DNA [url=http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&safe=off&q=DNA%20spiral&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi] google it[/url] Most of the imagery has been anti-clockwise, but I'm not sure at this stage if that is due to the artists preference or actuality. I've mentioned [url=http://www.galaxyzoo.org/story]Galaxy Zoo[/url] before in these lovely orange corridors. I love visiting the site and get a real buzz from helping to classify galaxies. It turns out that there are more anti-clockwise galaxies than clockwise, [url=http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/10/17/first-results-from-galaxy-zoo-counterintuitive/]see here![/url]. Does this have any light to shed on why there isnmore matter than anti-matter in the observable universe, when according to most physicists there [i]should[/i] be equal amounts? Maybe not, but it is one of those things that intrigue me. I find it gorgeous the way a the path of wondering why a snails shell is so shaped can lead one to pondering the nature of the universe. :) [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/4175]Tao[/url] on 08-26-2009 02:07)[/small] Loading...
