The tiny left–right imbalance created by the weak interaction can be amplified billions of times during crystallization—and perhaps explain why we are made of matter, not antimatter.

🎯 The energy difference between left- and right-handed amino acids is so tiny that it's comparable to the energy a coin gains when lifted above a table by the thickness of a single atom.

🎬 This idea echoes Ray Bradbury's story 'A Sound of Thunder,' where a crushed butterfly changes the course of history—only here, the weak interaction plays the butterfly's role.
