The Evolution Particle?
The New York Times is reporting that the Large Hadron Collider was not actually shut down over the winter but was actually apparently looking into the possibility that a new particle is particularly mutagenic. It seems that when they fired up the accelerator, they found that some particles with unusual affinity for DNA were created. So, no black hole but particles that could shape evolution. Seems like the ID people will be all over this one --- maybe this is the guiding hand they have been looking for?
