Antarctica – Uncommon Descent

Remarkable Antarctic life find on rock far beneath ice shelf

It’s the first time life has been found under such conditions. But, as Alfred Russel Wallace, the first ID nerd, pointed out, this is a World of Life (1914).

Do mysterious particles flying out of Antarctica threaten the Standard Model of physics?
