As I read this I remembered the quasi-urban-myth that the former bass player for Iron Butterfly got a PhD in physics and was working on “time travel” . . . then mysteriously disappeared.
Sorta partially true, but not as mysterious as you’d think.

Last thing he heard probably “Ettore Majorana you killed my father, now prepare to die”.

Was he involved with Dr. Emilio Lizardo’s experimental oscillation overthruster research? That might explain it…

Oh sorry, I was looking for a postmodern script.

Well, after some deep contemplation he realized he was his own antiparticle and … poof!

Didn’t we just have a postmortem for the postscript guy?

It would be nice if you would just publish the freakin’ story so those of us who don’t want to waste time watching a video can cut to the chase and move on.

Freakin’ physicists, how do they disappear?
podcast
Still tho.
Dammit Barry…
the point of futility closet – is there a point to futility? 
– like all podcasts, is to give you something to listen to while you do other things: walking, dishes, cleaning, driving, commuting, making dinner, etc.
and while you could read the transcript ( if they made one ) it’d be faster still to just google majorana’s story because this particular podcast is in the form of a conversation between two people.
i think the point of the op is to turn people on to the podcast, not to give you a deep dive into majorana’s life.
