Hey TypoHunter, ever wondered if the quantum tunneling in DNA replication might actually be the original “typo” mechanism that evolved into our proofreading enzymes? I’m itching to map the exact probabilities, but first I need to make sure my description doesn’t slip into a grammar minefield. What do you think?

Absolutely, here’s a quick draft I’m hoping to run by you: “Quantum tunneling, a phenomenon where particles traverse energy barriers they classically shouldn’t cross, may have acted as the primordial error‐generating mechanism in early DNA replication. While enzymes later evolved to recognize and correct these mistakes, the original stochastic flips likely set the stage for evolutionary diversification.” Let me know if any wording still feels like a dangling modifier or if the concepts aren’t clear enough.
