If mirror life has such a powerful advantage over D life, why hasn’t any evolved in the wild ever since?https://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1420989331242557448 …

it would be really really hard to evolve from an existing D-DNA organism to be based on L-DNA tho just insanely improbably not a matter of genetics either which is where evolution usually goes down
-
yeah it would basically have to evolve from scratch which, well, it evolved the first time but in markedly different conditions without other organisms consuming needed resources

same reason electrons don't flow positive to negative but current does
-
chirality being 'biased' to one direction & Franklin messing up electron flow are the same error it's just one or another, and it's arbitrary, but you can name it wrong

I vaguely remember reading once there were *slight* entropy benefits in D-Handness. <0.1% favorable. They were chalking it up to a vague we don't know, why is there more matter...

Nice that could be like the matter vs anti matter advantage

Medlife crisis gave a fun talk related to this. Turns out, our galaxies and even the universe itself might be chiral, causing favoritism to certain orientations of the most primitive biomolecules. Then again, it could also be pure chance ¯\_(ツ)_/¯https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqv9HHNak0c …
