Abstract: | Wheeler's conjecture that there might exist a ‘principle’ which rules out parity-non-conserving spaces is analysed. The following result has been obtained: A local relativistic quantum field theory is parity-conserving if the following conditions hold: - The fields are derived from geometry, i.e. they are represented by quantised currents (in the sense of de Rham); and
- The theory may be defined on a connected and, under certain restrictions, on a disconnected orientable space-time continuumM 4.
