I've been observing two physical phenomenon for a long time. The first is that my nose is bent to the right (as seen from my face). I always assumed that it was because when I wash my face the motion tends to be left to right constantly pushing the nose to the right. My mother always warned me about my face freezing but I never connected that to my nose. I have noticed that one of my relatives is right handed but shows the nose tilt to the right. Genetics? Coincidence?
The other thing I'd like to discuss is the asymmetric growth of my fingernails. For as long as I can remember (my long term memory is still fairly good) the finger nail on my left ring finger always grew faster than any of my other nails. The nail on my left middle finger consistently demonstrates the next fastest growth rate. Following that the next nail in line is probably on the left pinky finger. After that it seems all the other nails grow at a fairly slower uniform rate. Is there a connection? What is it?
Is it just a coincidence that the finger nails on my left hand show a significantly greater growth rate than those on my right hand? Could it be a result of my exhibiting the left handed genes?
These are the kinds of momentous questions which might be solved through the use of p-adic modelling.
Or not.
Chirality could lead to a proof that we're all on this flight together.
