On the night of March 26, 1938, nuclear physicist Ettore Majorana
boarded a ship, cash and passport in hand. He was never seen again.
In "A Brilliant Darkness," theoretical physicist Joao Magueijo
tells the story of Majorana and his research group, "the Via
Panisperna Boys," who discovered atomic fission in 1934. As
Majorana, the most brilliant of the group, began to realize the
implications of what they had found, he became increasingly
unstable. Did he commit suicide that night in Palermo? Was he
kidnapped? Did he stage his own death?
"A Brilliant Darkness" chronicles Majorana's invaluable
contributions to science--including his major discovery, the
Majorana neutrino--while revealing the truth behind his fascinating
and tragic life.
