The Disappearing Scientist!

[Macavity]

 Recently been reading through "Bios" of some of the world of
"Greats" in (Particle) Physics. So many are dying off, these days... 😐

Stepen Wolfram: https://cerncourier.com/a/memories-from-caltech/
Diverse personalities: Richard Feynman - Never shy of publicity? 😉
Murray Gell-Mann, hard-to-like Genius? 🙃

Ettore Majorana who might have been MORE famous, rarely
published (A frustrated Fermi, ghost wrote a paper for him?)
Then he just Mysteriously Disappeared? 😲
Science/Scientists - Never Boring? lol

Given the working conditions in the field in the first half of last century, physicists surely must live longer these days.

I must admit, I never actually knew the location of "Room 2.62"! 😲
- Even though I was familiar with Manchester Uni. I presume it is 
now: "The Rutherford Building" - Probably never went down there!
Amazed all the above only came to light so LONG after my time...

Alas poor Ettore Majorana? Still hope he did a "Reggie Perrin"? 😉
