I'm not sure.

And what other effects would it have on observable quantities?

I'm also not sure.

So that sounds like a work.

Okay.

By the way, just so people know that you got to be careful about these things.

There was one study that had the brilliant idea.

It was a while back.

The computers weren't there.

They had volunteers.

It was like citizen science.

They said, here are some pictures of spiral galaxies.

You go through them, you citizen scientists, and tell us, are they...

counterclockwise spirals or are they clockwise spirals okay and you would expect it to be 50 50 but it was like 70 30 like there were a lot more clockwise spirals than counterclockwise spiral and astronomers like oh my god what is going on and someone had a brilliant idea okay let's give the same galaxies to the same people but let's take the mirror image of them let's flip them ah what a smart idea

And guess what?

It was still 70% clockwise galaxies.

It was people were seeing things.

People are not unobjective.

Get people out of the equation at all times.

Yeah, there you go.
