Is our current technology advanced enough to determine the exact opposite of a certain molecule or chemical? If we are not advanced enough, what would be required for this to be possible? Any thoughts on this please respond. I posted this in physics because there might be some advanced math involved and knowledge of physics.

hi vinanxi! :smile:

i don't understand :redface:

what do you mean by the opposite of a molecule? :confused:
 
Welcome to PF Vinanxi. Are you referring to chirality by any chance?
