The organic chemist's version of the chicken-and-egg paradox. Enantiomers are mirror-image molecules that can't be separated without specialized equipment like polarimeters, which measure how compounds rotate polarized light. But here's the kicker—polarimeters were designed specifically because enantiomers exist. It's a perfect chemical catch-22 that would make even Schrödinger's cat roll its eyes. Next time your synthesis yields a racemic mixture, just blame the universe's circular logic.
