“My father taught me that one gains very little knowledge of how to behave as a nation from looking at year-to-year changes. To find the true worth of historical experience, one must examine generations – Theodore Von Kármán (the Hungarian father of supersonics and hypersonics) recalled. It is Central Europe where history happens.“

From George Marx’s (ELTE Department of Atomic Physics, Budapest) THE MARTIANS:
“The universe is vast, containing myriads of stars, many of them not unlike our Sun. Many of these stars are likely to have planets circling around them. A fair fraction of these planets will have liquid water on their surface and a gaseous atmosphere. The energy pouring down from a star will cause the synthesis of organic compounds, turning the ocean into a thin, warm soup. These chemicals will join each other to produce a self-reproducing system. The simplest living things will multiply, evolve by natural selection and become more complicated till eventually active, thinking creatures will emerge. Civilization, science, and technology will follow. Then, yearning for fresh worlds, they will travel to neighboring planets, and later to planets of nearby stars. Eventually they should spread out all over the Galaxy. These highly exceptional and talented people could hardly overlook such a beautiful place as our Earth.
"And so, if all this has been happening, they should have arrived here by now, so where are they? " – asked Enrico Fermi.
It was Leo Szilard, Fermi’s co-inventor of the nuclear age, a man with an impish sense of humor (who) replied to Fermi's rhethoric: "They are among us," - he said - "but they call themselves Hungarians..."
Needing an open area large enough for their spacecraft to land, the Martians landed in the 5th District of Budapest, “Lipótváros,” at the turn of the century.
Szabadság Tér (Liberty Square, seen HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE), is located at the UNESCO World Heritage epicenter right behind Budapest’s astonishing Parliament building and fronting the U.S. Embassy. It has the appropriate landing strip.
The Martians looked around and said, “Hey, this is a nice place.” They settled in and had children with Hungary’s gorgeous women. Shortly after their children changed the world.
Almost everything you touch and touches you have the Martian’s fingerprints, from the ball point pen, the hologram on your credit cards, to the computer, to the pharma that had just saved the lives of tens of millions. Martians also invented microsurgery.
Another extraterrestrial gave you a three word command 170 years before Covid made your lives infinitely cleaner: Wash Your Hands!
Martians, and not Edison, gave us Tungsten filaments, the working lightbulb, for Edison’s primitive turkey only worked for 40 hours at best. Martians invented the plasma flat screen as well as LEDs for modern lightbulbs and LED TVs. As well as the video recorder and color TV!
Neil Armstong, the first man to step on the moon said to the LED’s inventor: “Professor, Sir, I know for a fact that you, and not I, reached the moon first!”
Martians gave us music too - the LP and gramophone. Consider: without the computer for which the Martians provided the math and architecture, as well as most of the world’s microchips, the CD, music, televised streaming, NETFLIX, mobile phones, GPS, wifi and bluetooth, sonar, a modern military with acquisition and targeting systems, and this page you’re reading, would not have been possible.
Eventually the Martians launched themselves back to Elon MUSKowitz’s planet, awaiting their descendants to follow. Now you understand what Space-X is all about.
Elon (אֵילוֹן in Hebrew) is a masculine first name, or Jewish surname, which means "oak tree".
The Martians speak an incomprehensible language which is attributed to their mathematical genius and evidence-based logic that impacts all areas of science, biochemistry, physics, medicine, computer science, math and thought. Pure math is central to unraveling the universe’s secrets.
Remember one Martian word for the questionnaire at the end: Megszentségteleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekért.
If you can pronounce it, consider yourself a genuine Martian.
Coming from outer space
Marx: “...There is only one single factual piece of evidence about the descent from planet Mars: there is a mount named Von Kármán Crater on the Red Planet. Hungarians left more traces on the Moon: a huge ring in the southern part of the far side of the Moon has also been named Von Kármán Crater, honoring the pioneer of supersonic flight. East of it is the tiny crater honoring Imre Izsák, the Hungarian-American expert of celestial mechanics of the Space Age (1929-1965). In the North-West, near the lunar Terminator Line, halfway between H.G. Wells and F. Joliot is the great Szilard Crater of 122 km in diameter (Szillard co-invented nuclear fission and reactor). East of it astronauts may find the Von Neumann Crater (polymath von Neumann invented the conceptual basis for the computer and the architecture to make it operate). Later 19th century Hungarians who did not cross the Ocean, also deserved a place on the Lunar Map: in the southern part of the far side are János Bolyai (pioneer of non-Euclidean geometry, 1802-1880); a bit east of it is Roland Eötvös. (Eötvös explained gravitation and surface tension, and invented the torsion pendulum.)
A tiny crater represents Gyula Fényi, the Jesuit solar astronomer (1845-1927) the first person to demonstrate a correlation between the number of solar prominences and the number of sun spots, and published over 200 papers in several languages. Another, the Austro-Hungarian Nobel laureate, Richard Zsigmondy, known for his research in colloids. There is a Martian who proved that the craters on the Moon are not products of lunar volcanism but had been created by impacts of meteors from outside: Egon Orowan, father of dislocations and the Theory of Fatigue (Ed. of materials), while working on plasticity and fractures in solids, studied high resolution photographs brought back by the Apollo missions.[7] (There is indeed an asteroid named Teller orbiting around the Sun, discovered by E.F. Helin in 1989.) ...”
Ed Teller is the father of the Big Bang, aka, the hydrogen bomb, also known for suggesting, “Don’t mess with the Jews!”
It took a while for him to state his message loudly enough.

“There is a rumor in America that there are two intelligent races on Earth: Humans and Hungarians” — Isaac Asimov

The Lunar Landscape is dotted with the impacts of Martian objects known as Hungarians.
MARX continued: “...This explanation of the myth, however, is certainly not sufficient. Let us quote...George Békésy: "How is it possible that a country as small as Hungary has given the world so many internationally-renowned scientists?"
The Martian’s offspring attended the same high school and had the same math teacher, revealed in SLATE STAR CODEX!
A Martian woman and man credited for its nano-tech delivery system (pictured HERE with their parents who were also friends), invented the most revolutionary medical advance of the 21st century. Arguably they saved tens, if not hundreds of millions of lives. mRNA technology will, and you can quote me on it, drive the technology of future medicine that will cure many diseases.
Meanwhile: Geneticists think one in four Hungarians have Jewish blood. Jews arrived 800 years before the Magyar tribes conquered the Carpathian Basin, on the heels of Ceasar’s armies. Jews were Rome’s best warriors. Almost all the Martians were Jewish.
George Marx’ THE MARTIANS:
“The Jews were expelled from Western Europe 500 years ago, but were welcome in Eastern Europe for bringing trade and industry, especially by the king of Poland. In the 19th century Poland was divided among Germany, Austria, and Russia. Escaping from the pogroms encouraged by Russian orthodox priests, the Jews moved southwards, towards Hungary, adding to her former Jewish population. According to ancient law, Jews were forbidden to own land, so they turned toward trade and industry. Their wealth was increased by the industrial revolution. At the proposal of the Minister of Culture, the enlightened Baron József Eötvös (the father of the physicist Roland Eötvös) the Hungarian Parliament emancipated the Jews (1867). Some of them were made noblemen for their services in the economy (e.g. the father of George Hevesy in 1895, the father of Theodore Kármán in 1907, the father of John Neumann in 1913).
One hundred years ago (1895) Baron Roland Eötvös, a physicist served as Minister of Culture just for a few months. Because he was an aristocrat, he was able to convince the conservative Parliament to widen civil rights, including complete religious freedom and civilian marriage. Around 1900, in the tolerant social climate of Hungary over 50% of all the lawyers and medical doctors had Jewish roots. In the eyes of conservative nationalists, however, the Jews remained menacingly alien (Ed. Martian?)
“The place of origin for the wandering Jew, the fictional Leopold Bloom (alias Virág Lipót ) was placed in Hungary by James Joyce, describing the contemplative day of 16 June 1904 on the streets of Dublin in the novel appropriately entitled Ulysses... “ (Author: The northern 5th District cited above, is called Lipótváros: “város” means city.)
ARE THE MARTIANS ZIONISTS?
“Theodore Herzl (1860-1904), the founder of the movement for an independent Jewish state was born and attended school in Budapest.”
The Martians, the Jews of Budapest, later registered as “Hungarians” by the U.S. immigration service, arrived legally to New York and Hollywood, Las Vegas, and Los Alamos. They created a global and interplanetary culture for all of mankind - including Hollywood! They touched every corner of human affairs - even the way man thinks and feels.
Today some Martian’s descendants are escaping from communist tyranny in the United Socialist States of America, back to the free, sane, creative and innovative nation from where they originated, around the Fifth District where their forefathers landed their spacecraft.
Every day walking through the Hungarian capital’s well-worn majesty and history, I am reminded of (from Marx): “István Szabó (1938-), the Oscar winner Hungarian director who made a film for the BBC about the capital city of Hungary. - I called this film "Staying Afloat" because to me Budapest is like a boat trying not to capsize as it is buffeted by waves from all directions. We've been lashed by history and we mustn't let it suck us under. The very air of Budapest exudes this daily struggle for survival, this feeling that we're clinging to the rails; this is why I love my city.“
Theodore von Kármán: “It is Central Europe where history happens.“
The Martians who’ve landed here – and perhaps never returned to the Red Planet - continue to leave their massive footprints on history and mankind and on everything you touch and touches you.
