Chirality and Life

 Even in these benighted times, every once in a while there appears a glimmer of scientific genius that come almost like manna to salve one's despairing mentality. Today, in the midst of my wonted perusal of what passes for scientific inquiry, I came across a rather remarkable bit of hypothesizing about the molecular chiral organization of water. 

In other words, water is so constituted that it conforms congruently to the essential property of organic chirality. Here we see the legacy of Pasteur. The anomalous boundary of living and inorganic afford us the precise vehicle to research what the leader of the true scientific approach, Leibniz clarified as the harmonic underpinning of natural law that makes the constitution of this world the best among all possibilities. And in doing so puts to rest for all but the most diehard blockheads among us that the ordering of our universe is, in potential, always characterized by an evolvability to higher levels of more order.

In this, we find consolation that our struggles to lay the groundwork for unremitting human progress will eventually bear fruit no matter how much those of ill will work to prevent it.
