マヨナラはフェルミを評価していなかった。
しかし神様フェルミはマヨナラを評価していた。

フェルミはいう:

Laura Fermi recalls that when Majorana disappeared, Enrico Fermi said to his wife, "Ettore was too intelligent. If he has decided to disappear, no-one will be able to find him. Nevertheless, we have to consider all possibilities." In fact, Fermi even tried to get Benito Mussolini himself to support the search. On that occasion (in Rome in 1938), Fermi said: "There are several categories of scientists in the world; those of second or third rank do their best but never get very far. Then there is the first rank, those who make important discoveries, fundamental to scientific progress. But then there are the geniuses, like Galilei and Newton. Majorana was one of these."

マヨナラはガリレイやニュートンと比肩する天才だと。
