Abstract

  It is shown that the optical activity of tartaric acid, discovered by Louis Pasteur, is associated with the different shapes of D-tartaric acid and L-tartaric acid molecules, which are polytopes in dimension 5. This differs significantly from Louis Pasteur's assumption about the relationship between optical activity and the shape of tartaric acid crystals in the three-dimension space.
