You mean Weyl _fermions_. Weyl fermions obey the Weyl equation, and Majorana fermions the Majorana equation. Majorana fermions are their own anti-particles, while Weyl fermions are not. They are cousins of the Dirac equation (think about how a Dirac point and a Weyl point are related). There is still some debate about whether neutrinos are Weyl or Majorana fermions.

This is almost certainly true when you consider almost nobody understands what as humanity we actually know right now about the universe.

The chance that the smartest person in the world is just smart enough to understand exactly how the universe works is very unlikely considering understanding of the universe has never been under evolutional selection. We are going to have to wait for the Singularity to tell us how it really works :)

I misspoke here, I meant Dirac or Majorana fermions.
