Tuesdays at Espace des sciences with Étienne Klein, Physicist, Laboratory of Research on Matter Sciences, Atomic Energy Commission of Saclay, Doctor of Philosophy of Science, Professor at the Ecole Centrale in Paris. "Majorana embodies the most radical contradiction that has ever been brought to everything that is ordinarily considered ordinary among physicists. His work on the atom and nuclear interaction is a landmark. In 1937, he even published a prophetic article in which he envisages the existence of particles of a new kind, which could solve the great enigma of dark matter". Fascinated by this mysterious character that he discovered at the beginning of his physics studies, Étienne Klein conducted a real investigation. He met members of his family, searched the archives, analyzed the scientific works, with the secret hope that this romantic character would finally stop evading him. http://www.espace-sciences.org/confer...
