If Only We Had Asymmetric Hands To Communicate Our Conventions

Imagine trying to teach a physics student the right-hand rule with perfectly symmetrical hands. "Which right hand? They're identical!" Chirality and handedness are fundamental to how we understand physical laws—from cross products in electromagnetism to spin in quantum mechanics. Without asymmetric hands, physicists would be frantically inventing new mnemonics while medieval farmers apparently just... farm normally? The true crisis of symmetrical hands isn't the lack of agricultural progress—it's that physicists couldn't smugly twirl their fingers around to explain magnetic fields!
