Title: The Looking Glass Universe - From Baryogenesis to Biogenesis
Is there a connection between the excess of matter over antimatter and handedness in biology?
(jointly with BRLSI Science Group)
ご参考邦訳:鏡に映した宇宙 ~物質粒子の発生から生命の創造まで~
宇宙における物質の反物質に対する優勢と生物の要素の左右非対称性の間に関係はあるか?

Description:
The laws of physics were long thought to be unchanged when viewed in a mirror.
We have known for over sixty years that they are not.
As Sakharov first explained, this asymmetry, in action during the first moments of the universe, may account for the prevalence of matter over antimatter today.
Likewise, as Pasteur first showed, the laws of biology are similarly asymmetric, as is exhibited by the structure of DNA.
In this talk I will discuss how there might be a causal connection between these two qualities, mediated by cosmic rays.
On the way, I will illustrate this uneven-handedness using recent, exciting, astronomical discoveries, involving black holes, neutron stars and exoplanets.
