Last week, I imagined what would happen if we landed humans on a planet that had independently evolved its own molecular biology, comparable to ours but different in many of the details.
I imagined that this alien molecular biology had the same chirality than ours. But what if it didn’t? Life with a different chirality than ours is actually not a science fiction scenario, but something that is currently being worked on in several high security labs.
