Why the heart is on the left, and the hands of the clock move to the right. The mysteries of the world's asymmetry
Why doesn't the right glove fit on the left hand? Why does nature have such a solution for seemingly symmetrical limbs? Why do living and non-living nature even have right and left? We think that the pursuit of symmetry is... a step towards the ideal, towards beauty, however, asymmetry is the normal state of nature. Professor Chris McManus, a leading researcher in chirality, invites us to embark on a fascinating journey - through medicine, psychology, physics, and the history of culture - in search of answers to the mysterious asymmetries that shape our world.
