Bugün öğrendim ki: Fermi, Heisenberg ve Bohr'un bir meslektaşı ve arkadaşı olan Ettore Majorana hakkında, zamanının çoğu fiziği tarafından Newton ve Galilei gibi büyüklerle karşılaştırılabilir bir dahi olarak kabul edildi, 1938'de gizemli bir şekilde ortadan kayboldu ve bir daha asla görülmedi. .

On 25 March 1938, he disappeared under mysterious circumstances after purchasing a ticket to travel by ship from [Palermo](/wiki/Palermo "Palermo") to [Naples](/wiki/Naples "Naples"). The [Majorana equation]( /wiki/Majorana_equation "Majorana equation") and [Majorana fermions](/wiki/Majorana_fermion "Majorana fermion") are named after him.
