From what I have read - and I am NOT knowledgeable in this - chirality
is not the same as spinning or spinning forces.

Chirality has to do with left- or right-handed things - like screw threads
and isomers of certain chiral molecules - like sucrose, for example.

If you wanna know more, I refer you to a poster on sci.physics, who goes
by the name of "Uncle Al", Dr. Alan M. Schwartz. He is practically
obsessed with the subject and frequently held forth on it when I used
to read that group*. He's an "organiker" (an organic chemist) and he
_really_ knows his stuff.
