The reason I ask is related to the previuos topic "Mirror Matter and Souls". Look at his line of argument: "The reason why the body is bilateral symmetric and radial symmetric (coelenterates and echinoderms) is that the body makes a mirror copy of itself. Bilateral symmetry is the most effective symmetry. Fast animals have this symmetry. One side of the body is essentially a mirror copy of the other. This mirror copy will occure because mirror matter (db) is reversed ordinary matter (db)."

Does it even make a sense?...

Except, the body really isn't symmetrical. If it was, then the organs like the heart, liver, appendix, the stomach and similar would be placed in the exact middle of the body. Heck, even the left and right lung (which are "mirrors" of each other) have distinctly different volumes (the left lung being smaller).

So no, it does not make sense. At least not to me.

Moreover,even if body WAS competely symmetrical(which is NOT) - it still has symmetric parts made of ORDINARY matter.
But according to this: "One side of the body is essentially a mirror copy of the other. This mirror copy will occure because mirror matter (db) is reversed ordinary matter (db)."

Fine!According to this logic my left eye is made of ordinary matter,and right one - of mirror matter(or vice versa,who cares?...).The same applies for hands,legs.Pretty idiotic.Unless I missed something...

Is it saying that one half of the body is matter and the other is mirror matter, or reversed ordinary matter? Maybe a good start would be to define mirror matter, and how exactly it is reversed. Some organic molecules like glucose for example have enantiomers, or mirror images of the same compound with the exact same chemical formula. This is just not happening because we would already know about it by now, it's so easy to test for.

If he's saying that one half of the body is a mirror copy made from mirror matter that is totally indistinguishable from normal matter, then how is this mirror matter not just ordinary matter.

Thanks for the responses, folks.Here are also his ideas that I don't see how they make sense.

"I found that the nerves cross the median line on their way up to the memories of the brain and the chakra of the heart in the copy of the body was situated opposite the physical heart.Here I have two indications that the copy was a mirror copy and consisted of mirror particles."

1.What does physically nerve cross to do with mirror matter copy?
2."Spiritual heart on the right side" - is difficult to say anything concrete,since it is not scientifically established fact.But even it was(for the sake of the argument) - what does it have to do with mirror particles?...

And:
"The memories from the left hemisphere of the brain are situated on the right hemisphere. This is the reason why the nerves cross each other in Medulla oblongata and Corpus callosum."

First,the reason he states is his personal opinion.But the second,and more important: what does it(memories from the left hemisphere of the brain are situated on the right hemisphere) have to do with mirror matter copy?...
