When I was at uni doing electronics, it was noticeable that left-handed people, and left handed men especially, had a much more instinctive grasp of quantum mechanics than the righties. There are genuine brain-physiological reasons for this.

It's a visualisation process, you can build the model in your head in multiple dimensions and appreciate the implications as a real thing, even if mathematically it can only be expressed abstractly.

So I've always taken a view that anybody who studies this beyond degree level is going to tend towards left-handedness.
