...out of curiosity, assuming that the photons from
antimatter, even if ordinary, would be polarized
differently - what about mirror matter photons? You
mention "symmetry is conserved" but I wonder if that
goes to every detail?

You probably know about "Jones calculus"? (no
relation, and new to me ;-) Before stumbling on it, I
had no idea that photons were so complex... but the
implications are many - there may be a statistical
ways in the future (or now) to determine, from a study
of photon emission, if a star (more likely a whole
galaxy) is composed of antimatter. 

... maybe mirror matter has distinctive photons? or
have you answered that before? Every time you mention
mirror matter, I get this vague and uneasy sense of
deja vu... Makes the head spin.

Speaking of circularly polarized apples falling up ...

... and other 'Dusty' memories

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel thats turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind ....
