Scientific paper

We show that Majorana particles belong to the Wigner class of fermions in which the charge conjugation and the parity operators commute, rather than anticommute. Rigorously speaking, Majorana spinors do not satisfy the Dirac equation [a result originally due to M. Kirchbach, which we re-render here]. Instead, they satisfy a different wave equation, which we derive. This allows us to reconcile St\"uckelberg-Feynman interpretation with the Majorana construct. We present several new properties of neutral particle spinors and argue that discovery of Majorana particles constitutes dawn of a new era in spacetime structure.
