Ira Hungarians (rom MARS? (Ä Nobel Prize Winner Reveals the Shocking Secret Behind Why So Many of the World’s Greatest Scientists and Inventors Are from Hungary FOR MORE THAN 150 YEARS, the academic and scientific communities have been astounded by the advancements and discoveries made by Hungarian-born scholars and researchers. The average man-on-the-street wouldn't recognize the names of most of these Hungarian geniuses, but people-in-the-know know who they are. And the experts have always been puzzled by how so much brain power could be so concentrated in Hungary, a relatively small country. The answer may have been discovered years ago . .. Hungarians are from Mars! The theory of Hungarians' Martian origins was first announced by Nobel Prize recipient Leon Lederman. He said that scientists like János (John von) Neumann, Ede (Edward) Teller, Tódor (Theodore von) Kármán and others were creatures from outer space who established their first base on our planet in Budapest. The scientists then disguised themselves as Hungarian emigrants and spread out over the Earth. By the end of the 1940's, they had infiltrated the best universities and research institutes in the world. Lederman claimed his theory was just a joke. But, was it?! It is said the truth is often spoken in jest. A closer look at the evidence suggests Lederman may have been closer to the truth than he realized. EXHIBIT #1: For thousands of years, the Earth had been divided into two great hemispheres, East and West. Neither understood the other and each was suspicious of the other. That was until one man~a Hungarian-named Sándor Csorna de Körös (1784-1842) came along. His research into the ancient origins of the Hungarians led him to bridge the gap between East and West. Today, he is respected as the man who connected the heart and spirit of East and West. Did Csorna de Körös have a unique perspective—an other-worldly perspective—that allowed him to see Earth as one world interconnected, not a world of differing cultures? EXHIBIT #2: Childbed fever was the scourge of children and mothers for centuries. A Hungarian, Ignác Semmelweis (1818-1865) recognized the fever was caused by infection and could be found during gynecological examinations. He discovered the fever could be prevented by washing hands in chloride water. A simple solution that no one else on the planet had considered. For his discovery, Semmelweis was called "the savior of mothers." EXHIBIT #3: Tódor Kármán (1881-1963), the father of modem aerodynamics and supersonic airplanes and missies. His work was instrumental in obtaining the air superiority needed to win World War II. After the war he worked on the guidelines on which all future aviation technology was developed. Today, craters on the far side of the moon—and Mars—preserve his name. EXHIBIT #4: Leó Szilárd (1898- 1964) discovered the possibility of nuclear chain reactions and started the American nuclear program. He and Enrico Fermi were in charge of planning and putting into practice the first atomic pile. Teller stated it quite simply: Szilárd was the man "who started the atomic age." EXHIBIT #5: Zoltán Bay (1900- 1992) was the founder of radar astronomy. He worked out a new metric standard which was accepted by the International Conference on Weights and Measures in 1983. He was the first European to relay messages to the moon from-where else-Budapest. His work opened up the possibilities for space research and space travel and led to the development of global satellite communications. EXHIBIT #6: János Neumann (1903-1957) became famous for the role he played in information technology. His study on the development of the modern high-speed electronic computer came out more than 50 years ago. Up until his death he was engaged in studying the connections between technology and biology. He is widely hailed as the "father of computers." The evidence is far more extensive. But the point is clear: Hungarians were leaders in the development of computers, the nuclear age, global communications, space travel, lifesaving advances in medicine and improved international relations. Lederman may have inadvertently discovered the truth: Hungarians contributions to modern life are out of this world! |WPL| 8 William Penn Lile, July 1999
