Abstract
Previously we have carried out simulation of the Weak Neutral Current and symmetry breaking transition bifurcation process addressing some of the issues raised by critics of the approach. We now include the effects of a chiral impulse on the transition and show that under certain cases this could greatly alter the transition time. Examples of a chiral impulse could be a nearby Supernova and an impulse of β-emitters. We briefly discuss the possibility of these processes in the early solar system.
