Nov 4, 2015 at 8:52 comment added pela This property of spirals is referred to as the handedness of the their rotation, and has been investigated by several authors, e.g. Trujillo et al. (2006) and Longo (2009, 2011), who seem to find a small, but significant, parity violation. I don't know enough about the subject to comment on the credibilty of the studies, though.
