Eighty years ago, Ettore Majorana, a brilliant student of Enrico Fermi, disappeared under mysterious circumstances while going by ship from Palermo to Naples. How is it possible that the most talented physicist of his generation vanished without leaving a trace? It has long been speculated that Majorana decided to abandon physics, disappearing because he had precociously realized that nuclear fission would inevitably lead to the atomic bomb. This book advances a different hypothesis. Through a careful analysis of Majorana's article "The Value of Statistical Laws in Physics and Social Sciences," which shows how in quantum physics reality is dissolved into probability, and in dialogue with Simone Weil's considerations on the topic, Giorgio Agamben suggests that, by disappearing into thin air, Majorana turned his very person into an exemplary cipher of the status of the real in our probabilistic universe. In so doing, the physicist posed a question to science that is still awaiting an answer: What is Real?

Giorgio Agamben is a contemporary Italian philosopher and political theorist whose works have been translated into numerous languages. His most recent title with Stanford University Press is Karman (2018).
1. "Science no longer tried to know reality, but—like the statistics of social sciences—only intervene in it in order to govern it.”
2. Chance and probability
“Statistics is not a science that aims at an experimental knowledge of the real; rather, it is the science that enables us to take decisions in uncertain conditions.” 阿甘本论科学命理化的危机：不可避免地只得用数据去调停reality...“Statistics is not a science that aims at an experimental knowledge of the real; rather, it is the science that enables us to take decisions in uncertain conditions.” 阿甘本论科学命理化的危机：不可避免地只得用数据去调停reality和real之间的关系；而数据=command所以命理学=管理学/治理学（？(展开)
Much of the idea based on Aristotle’s idea of potency is already put forth in What Is Philosophy. Good discussion on the relationship between probability and necessity.

1.“或然性”涉及到循环定义。庞加莱的。问题是：能否用或然性的领域，来替换实在的领域。2.现代科学的尝试：或然性不是被当作认识实在的手段来思考，而是把它当作干涉实在，并以治理实在的方式来思考。3.阿甘本：或然性为了让我们能够治理它、做出关于它的决定，它的实在被悬置了。4.阿甘本把这个运动的结构展示出来，不是承认它，而是想让它消失。这就是书名的意思。5.阿甘本的批判前提建立在现代科学之上。

没看Majorana的论文。人们在追求实在的过程中，错把好像的实在代替了真实的实在。数据模型和simulation都是实在，那么问题就又回到了题目本身，实在何为？
