"It ...": heeeeerrrrreeeeee Alien (n) ation.
One of the most enduring images and entertainment of the Hungarians in the second half of the 20th century is the idea of Hungarians as aliens or Martians. Much of this is tongue in cheek, not meant to be pejorative, and has been exploited to good effect and with great pleasure by the Hungarians themselves - to the point of being behind the likely source. There are several overlapping descriptions / rivals this all started. Consensus suggests that out of emigrant circles nuclear scientists, physicists and mathematicians who came to the U.S. during 1930 and 1940, many of which were juxtaposed in Los Alamos, New Mexico for the Manhattan Project.
As George Marx, a Hungarian professor of atomic physics in Budapest, he asks very attractive in his chapter entitled "The Martians' Vision of the Future", how is it that there were groups of Austrians, Germans and Italians who engaged in these scientific advances and yet it was only Hungarians seemed to gain the nickname and the association of "alien?" Marx seems to prefer the account in accordance with that one day the Italian Enrico Fermi was speculating about the universe and the possibility of life on other planets, and Leo Szilard, a Hungarian, ventured an answer to Fermi's question:
"And so," Fermi came to an overwhelming question, "If all this has been happening, that should have arrived here by now, so where are they?" It was Leo Szilard, a man with a great sense of humor, which provides the perfect answer to Fermi's rhetoric: "They are among us," he said, "but they call themselves Hungarians. "(According to Marx, this is Francis Crick's version of the myth)
Marx developed the "birth of a legend"
The myth of the Martian origin of the Hungarian scientists who entered world history on American soil during World War II probably originated in Los Alamos. Leon Lederman, director of Fermilab, reported possible hidden intentions. The production of scientists and mathematicians in the 20th century was so prolific that many observers believe otherwise calm Budapest was settled by Martians in a plan to infiltrate and take control of planet Earth ... According to myth, at a meeting of top-secret Manhattan Project, General Groves was a gentlemen's room. "Szilard then said:" Maybe now I can continue in Hungary, "Hungarian emigrants enjoyed speaking their mother tongue whenever is an opportunity offered. This has made it look suspicious. Los Alamos was a place of high security. General Groves was annoyed that Neumann and Wigner had frequent telephone conversations in Hungarian. [Teller, talk in Budapest 1991. ] The "Hungarian accent" was heard frequently, even in the corridors of the Pentagon. (The Lugosi accent made the alien power of Dracula, a Transylvanian count from the far more realistic.)
Marx recounts the details of the arrival of the Martians-cum-Hungarians on planet Earth:
- Gabor, von Kármán, Kemeny, von Neumann, Szilard, Teller, Wigner were born in the same quarter of Budapest [Author's note, the majority were Jews ... is interesting to note that some anti-Semitic Hungarian nationalists, while regularly include these names on the lists of famous Hungarians]. No wonder that scientists at Los Alamos accepted the idea that more than a thousand years ago a Martian spaceship somewhere crashlanded central Europe. There are three strong evidence of extraterrestrial origins of the Hungarians: they like to roam (like gypsies that come from the same region). They speak a language exceptionally simple and logical is not the slightest reference to the language of their neighbors. And they are much smarter than the terrestrials. (In a slight accent John G. Kemeny Martian added an explanation, namely that it is much easier to learn to read and write in Hungarian than in English or French, that Hungarian kids have much more time left to study mathematics. ) [quoted by Marx in "Yankee" Magazine (?) 1980] ([http://www.mek.iif.hu/kiallit/tudtor/tudos1/martians.html])
Finally, a more serious vein, the foreign connotation has been explained in terms of analysis as follows:
If we understand correctly SteeDee theory, the first of the Hungarian-
are foreigners, the story emerged of a human minor incident. The
The Hungarians can be highlighted from the rest of the staff of The
Alamos, perhaps for the maintenance of their own cliques and talk
their own language, indecipherable, and this made the English
speakers uncomfortable. The Hungarians were like foreigners to
rest, and since there were many reports of "flying saucers" in the
popular press in the 50 and 40 years of age, the "Martian" was a label
convenient way to sublimate social tensions. To be called
aliens, in a jocular tone, rib-meter way, may have helped
reduce social friction both inside and outside Hungary
