Speculation about Ettore Majorana is both never-ending and fascinating. Whenever I think or hear about the Majorana particle I can't help but also think that it shares some of its 'ephemeral' characteristics with those of the person it's named after. The Majorana mystery is even more perplexing than that seemingly irrational act of that idiotic genius Évariste Galois. At least with Galois one can come up with plausible motives.
