Majorana - A quantum enigma

Movie from Camille Guichard
____

The life and genius of Ettore Majorana, remains a source of fascination nearly 80 years after his mysterious disappearance in March 1938. He was 31 years old, Physics just discovered the Atom and the 2nd world war is on tracks.

This Italian physicist pushed the boundaries of Quantum Physics and Cosmology and one of his theory concerning Neutrinos, if experimentally confirmed, would be a huge contribution  to the understanding of the Dark Matter, the Antimatter and the Nucleus. This film unfolds as an investigative novel and a scientific thriller looking back at who Majorana was before he vanished and the history of Nuclear sciences in the troubled era of the 30’s.
