I wouldn't blame the cross product. I would say the *coordinate system* is
flipped in the mirror and the cross product follows suit.
For example, meteorologists may use a left-handed coordinate system where
one axis points toward the east, another points toward the north, and the
third points in the direction of increasing pressure (down). If we define
ixj=k then the cross product in this coordinate system follows the LHR. As
far as I am concerned, this is just math.
The physics is contained in the circulation,
which is the same in both coordinate systems. Likewise, the
wedge product is the same in both coordinate systems. I think.
