This seems to be a narrow argument about chirality, rather than some “panspermia” kind of claim.

Breslow’s argument includes a 10,000 C plasma fireball upon meteorite impact, a poor start for organic synthesis. Chiral protein amino acids are L-configuration, natural chiral sugars are D-configuration. Pookie pookie.
Replace achiral pseudo-Riemannian spacetime curvature with chiral Weitzenböck spacetime torsion. Obtain a chiral vacuum background differentially active only toward mass configuration – EM is inert. General Relativity works to spec given no natural resolved chiral bodies (meat and wood cancel on Earth). The chiral vacuum effect is 10^(-12) relative or smaller post-inflation.
Massed sector chiral vacuum is testable. A parity Eötvös experiment opposing chemically identical cultured solid single crystal quartz would do it: one set of test masses in space group P3(1)21 (right-handed screw axes) and the other in space group P3(2)21 (left-handed screw axes).
Somebody should look.
Hi Chad,
glad you appreciated my attempt at popularizing calorimeters…
Cheers,
