Inherent homochirality of primary particles and meteorite impacts as possible source of prebiotic molecular chirality

A new hypothesis is presented that suggests super high velocity impacts (SHVI) of meteorites and collisions of other cosmic bodies as a universal source of nonracemic prebiotic organic matter. The hypothesis combines the notion by Davankov [29] on subatomic particles composing a homochiral pool of primary matter with the results by Managadze [49] on the synthesis of organic molecules in the plasma torch caused by a laser beam action on a solid target. The latter system serves as an adequate model for the plasma torch generated by SHVI of meteorites. New arguments are presented supporting the idea of inherent chirality of electrons and photons. Formation of chiral combinations of strong magnetic and electrostatic fields in the plasma torch is discussed, which could cause a chiral imbalance of molecules that self-assemble in the torch from the homochiral pool of atomic and subatomic species.
