58 David B. Clineviewpoint of this paper is that weak interaction could cause this symmetrybreaking. 24Future space missions like the ESA-ROSETTA mission to a comet with thepossibility to test optical activity will be of enormous importance. 24AcknowledgementsI wish to thank Jules Deutsch for inviting me to this interesting meeting, theAcademic Europa for support and V. Goldanskii for many useful discussions.References1. D. B.
