This is a 1921 paper. Ettore Majorana would have been 15 year old.
Instead this fits the work of Quirino_Majorana on gravity shielding.

message: This states that in 1937 he became a professor at Naples at the age of 37. If he was born in 1906 then this makes no sense. Which is correct? I will check the linked source and potentially correct to reflect this Stirfryannie (talk) 10:31, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

message: Hi, the hypothesis that Majorana may have accidentally discovered a method of generating an interdimensional portal
or for that matter discovered one, isn't completely implausible.
Its been suggested by some very prominent scientists that ball lightning may in fact be the opening of a tiny white hole,
and as such could by itself account for many of the anomalies observed throughout history.
My reasoning is that a very small traversable wormhole might have formed nearby caused by solar activity.
Intriguingly this isn't completely impossible as some variants of the GR field equations allow for very small amounts of
exotic matter formed by primordial expansion of rotating cosmic strings, that by themselves might stabilize a wormhole.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.111.199.23 (talk) 08:57, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
