Ma'am can you make videos on Igor Vasilyevich Kurchatov , Edward teller, Aristotle, Grigori perelman and Hans bethe because there is no videos on them instead of some 1 hr biographies
BRIGHT IS KEY in todays world and they need just to look at it is mostly and let the subconscious take it in and connect it/make connection and store.or the science part of the mind I suppose
Legend says, when Roosevelt left the meeting he had with his team of scientific consultants, one of them said: "Gentlmen, I think we can continue in hungarian."
In consequences, most Hungarian people lost their respect for the schools. So it's not just emty complaining. The current school system needs radical changes, or will slowly rot away.
It’s not true. Hungarians are just like to complaining about everything. The wages of the teachers is low that’s true tho they have to fix it but everything else is a lie. I was studying in Ireland in a University. Biotechnology. Based on biology maths physics and chemistry. The first 2 years we were studying exactly what I learned in 10-12th class in my Highschool already if not earlier. The leaving cert here could be done by an 8th grader in Hungary. Education in Hungary is extremely high level compared to other Western countries. The salaries has to be fixed still but the level of education is extremely hard and high standard. If you want to talk about respect towards teachers I recon you to see a western school and how are student and teachers are acting over there you would be shocked. Grass is always greener on the other side but in actuality it isn’t . You should start to appreciate what you have over there because when you move abroad you will face reality and it’ll hit you hard when you realise what we have in Hungary is actually not bad. That’s life you all envy the West for certain of things and here every person I know envy Hungary for others. The longer I live abroad the more I appreciate Hungary.
Edward Teller (who was actually Teller Ede born in Budapest, Hungary) said once that without the Hungarian language he would have just been a mediocre high school teacher... the logic of the Hungarian language gave him the gift of being able to think about things such a unique way...
I think the language is partly responsible. There are no prepositions in Hungarian. The language uses postposition tags so that you have to wait until the end of the sentence to find out who did what. It makes people better listeners. In English, we use lots of prepositions, so we know where the speaker is going before they are done, or so we think. Also, the language is completely phonetic. If you ask how to spell something and how to pronounce something, it is the same question. This saves about two years in language studies over English. English has its advantages, though. You can say just about anything in English. My son's second cousin is a math teacher in Hungary. When he was visiting, my son learned more in two days from him than he learned in an entire semester in high school. Another of my son's second cousins has finished his PhD in Engineering. He has done some post doctoral work at MIT and will be doing more at Cal Tech. One of my Hungarian friends has a PhD in Mathematics and is Erdos 2. Yes, there are a lot of brilliant Hungarians.
There was recently an article on the subject in the German magazine "Sezession". It showed the connection between grammar and mindset. According to the article, language favours logical thinking and also creates a special form of love for one's homeland. Title: Sprechen und Sein. Über Ungarns Identität.
@@belstar1128 There are some very good mathematicians who were native English speakers. I wrote a paper about Arthur Cayley in college and looked through his collected mathematical papers. He was one of the most prolific mathematicians in history and wrote the rules for matrix mathematics. His clarity of thought was expressed in his papers and his is the best explanation of matrix mathematics I have ever read. And there are many others like Newton, Boole, Turing and many others.

When I was going to a Gimnazium (high school) in Hungary between 1978-1983, after going to a university in America, I didn't have to do anything for the first 2 years because I already learned that in high school. Surviving and passing math without failing was a cause to celebrate in Hungarian high schools. Even getting into high school was very difficult because you had to have a certain number of credits/high score threshold to pass in order to be accepted.
And now our education system is on the brink of collapse. The education system is underpaid, and also highly understaffed. The situation is so bad, that the government will utilize soldiers older than 55 years, and order them to go to schools to teach. There's a village in Hungary where the biology teacher is the local butcher. That's how bad the situation is currently. Funny part the whole problem is caused by the government and the solution they do just makes things worse.
@@Z04RD Isn't the Hungarian government increasing the salaries of teachers' every year starting 2023? They have a program where they pay them out of EU funds. Sad to see that the educational system is declining, in the US it's completely useless and have been for the last 30-35 years. On top of that the teachers have become political activists who brainwash students in high schools and especially on the university level. Society is on the verge of collapsing into total chaos due to the impact of ideological brainwashing from the left/progressives. At least Hungary doesn't have that which is a good thing.
@@Z04RD "Interesting. I attended high school in Budapest (gimnazium) between 1983 and 1987, That was 4 years later than Janus. However, I had a similar experience in Australia with biology and chemistry. Second- and third-year university students knew as much as a 17-year-old high school student back home. And this difference still holds today. My friends couldn`t return with their high school child because he is 17, but his math knowledge is as much as a 7th grader back home. And as I recall, even in the 1980s, teachers complained about their salary and their freedom. We didn't even dare to dream about what would happen in 89.

I say it's the language. It has so much choice, you can think in any way, you are hardly limited by expression (besides from a passive form). All Hungarians I know are versatile and speak excellent English, German and some roman languages too. There are so many ways to think around ordinary sentence structues to express yourself above just making statements. You can even swear so melodically, if you put words in the right order to create tension and release like in a symphony. I've been learning for two years and thinks Hungarian language is somewhat of the peak of human expression by now.
Thank you for learning our language. It brings such joy in the harth of a native hungarian speaker to hear that someone foreign is learning our language that you cannot even imagine. If along your learning journey you will need a partner to speak with in hungarian, than please feel free to contact me, i would help you for free

Hm, as a Hungarian, I often struggle expressing myself in Hungarian, sometimes having to "fall back" to English. A lot of expressions have no Hungarian equivalents. (or maybe I'm just bad at my own native language)

As far as I know these scientists spoke in Hungarian with each other, and this language is very strange and isnt similar to any other language, thats why they were Martians.
For those who are constantly emphasizing the Jewish origin of these inventors/scientists, here are some facts and also several Non-Jew / Hungarian scientists: 1. As it was mentioned in the video these scientists were educated in Hungarian schools, in Hungarian language - one of the most difficult languages in the world - By the famous math teacher László Rátz - a Hungarian btw.. 2. At 4:33 you can hear that: „Jews were elevated to the highest echelons of society” in the Austro-Hungarian empire. John Von Neumann’s father ’was a successful banker and economic advisor to the Hungarian Government’. It’s not hard to imagine that these influential Jewish families had (and still have) a very good „marketing” when it comes to promoting themselves. *Of course this does not detract from their merits*, I just want to emphasize that a Jewish scientist was much more easily in the limelight than non-Jewish scientists. 3. Here are some Non-Jew / Hungarian scientists that you may not know, they didn’t get very high publicity: • Georg von Békésy - Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (1961) • Farkas Bolyai - was a Hungarian mathematician, mainly known for his work in geometry. • János Bolyai - was a Hungarian mathematician who developed absolute geometry-a geometry that includes both Euclidean geometry and hyperbolic geometry. • Imre Bródy - was a Hungarian physicist who invented in 1930 the krypton-filled fluorescent lamps (also known as the krypton electric bulb) with fellow-Hungarian inventors Emil Theisz, Ferenc Kőrösy and Tivadar Millner. • Loránd Eötvös - was a Hungarian physicist. He is remembered today largely for his work on gravitation and surface tension, and the invention of the torsion pendulum. Eötvös is remembered today for his experimental work on gravity, in particular his study of the equivalence of gravitational and inertial mass (the so-called weak equivalence principle) and his study of the gravitational gradient on the Earth's surface. The weak equivalence principle plays a prominent role in relativity theory and the Eötvös experiment was cited by Albert Einstein in his 1916 paper The Foundation of the General Theory of Relativity. Measurements of the gravitational gradient are important in applied geophysics, such as the location of petroleum deposits. The CGS unit for gravitational gradient is named the “Eotvos” in his honour. • Charles Simonyi - Early Microsoft employee Charles Simonyi is the man behind some of the company's most successful software, including *Word and Excel.* The developer has a Ph.D. in computer science from Stanford, and worked on one of the first personal computers at Xerox. • Michael Somogyi - Was a Hungarian-American professor of biochemistry. He prepared the first insulin treatment given to a child with diabetes in the US in October 1922. Somogyi later showed that excessive insulin makes diabetes unstable in the Chronic Somogyi rebound to which he gave his name. • Victor Szebehely - was a key figure in the development and success of the Apollo program. In 1956, a dimensionless number used in time-dependent unsteady flows was named "Szebehely's number," (In the September and October 1977 issues of the journal Celestial Mechanics, volume 16, an equation used to determine the gravitational potential of the Earth, planets, satellites, and galaxies was named "Szebehely's equation". • Albert Szent-Györgyi - was a Hungarian biochemist who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1937. *He is credited with first isolating vitamin C* and discovering many of the components and reactions of the citric acid cycle and the molecular basis of muscle contraction. • Békésy György - Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine • Richard Adolf Zsigmondy - He was known for his research in colloids, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1925, as well as for co-inventing the slit-ultramicroscope and different membrane filters. The crater Zsigmondy on the Moon is named in his honour. • Ferenc Anisits - Hungarian engineer, engine developer. He founded the BMW Diesel Development Center in Steyr, Austria. • Oszkár Asboth - was an ethnic Hungarian aviation engineer sometimes credited with the invention of the helicopter. • Béla Barényi - Barényi made numerous crash protection inventions, and is therefore regarded as the father of passive safety in automotive design. Barényi is also credited with first conceiving the original design for the German people's car (the Volkswagen Beetle) in 1925, - notably by Mercedes-Benz, on their website, including his original technical drawing - five years before Ferdinand Porsche claimed to have made his initial version. Barényi was inducted into the Detroit Automotive Hall of Fame in 1994 and nominated for the award of Car Engineer of the Century in 1999. • Ottó Bláthy - was a Hungarian electrical engineer. During his career he became the co-inventor of the modern electric transformer the tension regulator the AC watt-hour meter, the turbo generator, the high-efficiency turbo generator and the motor capacitor for the single-phase (AC) electric motor. • János Csonka - was a Hungarian engineer, the co-inventor of the carburetor for the stationary engine with Donát Bánki, patented on 13 February 1893. • Miksa Déri - was a Hungarian electrical engineer, inventor, power plant builder. He contributed with his partners Károly Zipernowsky and Ottó Bláthy, in the development of the closed iron core transformer and the ZBD model. His other important invention was the constant voltage AC electrical generator in the Ganz Works in 1883. • József Galamb - was a Hungarian mechanical engineer most known as main-engineer for designing the Ford Model T. • Csaba Horváth (chemical engineer) - was a Hungarian-American chemical engineer, particularly noted for building the first high-performance liquid chromatograph. • János Irinyi - was a Hungarian chemist and inventor of the noiseless and non-explosive match. • Kálmán Kandó - was a Hungarian engineer, the inventor of phase converter and a pioneer in the development of AC electric railway traction. • Joseph Petzval - was a Hungarian mathematician, inventor, and physicist best known for his work in optics. Petzval's achievements are used today in cinematography, astronomy, and meteorology. The Astro-Petzval-Objektiv lens is used in astronomy. This objective made a distortion-free illustration of a large part of the sky, as well as permitting photographing of galaxies and star fields. German optics companies (Töpfer, Voigtländerkorrigie, Zeiss) produced the Petzval objective lens until the 1940s. Petzval's largest contributions to optics are his theoretical bases for the construction and correction of optical lens systems. He carried out fundamental work for the theory of aberration in optical systems. • Tivadar Puskás - was a Hungarian inventor, telephone pioneer, and inventor of the telephone exchange. According to Edison, "Tivadar Puskas was the first person to suggest the idea of a telephone exchange". The first experimental telephone exchange was based on the ideas of Puskás, and it was built by the Bell Telephone Company in Boston in 1877. • Ernő Rubik - is a Hungarian inventor. He is best-known for creating the Rubik's Cube (1974). • Kálmán Tihanyi - was a Hungarian physicist, electrical engineer and inventor. One of the early pioneers of electronic television, he made significant contributions to the development of cathode ray tubes (CRTs), which were bought and further developed by the Radio Corporation of America (later RCA) and German companies Loewe and Fernseh AG. He invented and designed the world's first automatic pilotless aircraft in Great Britain. He is also known for the invention of the first infrared video camera in 1929, and coined the first flat panel plasma display in 1936. His Radioskop patent was recognized as a Document of Universal Significance by the UNESCO, and thus became part of the Memory of the World Programme on September 4, 2001. The list is not complete.
Many of these gymnasiums (a.k.a. high schools) inculcated a high-degree of self-confidence in their students’ willingness to trust in themselves an ability to learn. These schools encouraged their students to draw their own conclusions from their individual and communal curiosities. And if it so happened that the students’ curiosities led to an incorrect conclusion, then they were gently corrected yet encouraged to remain both curious and open to drawing conclusions elsewhere. Learning starts with a belief in oneself that one CAN learn. It reminds me of a quote (all caps are mine): “Muad'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in HOW TO LEARN. And the first lesson of all was the basic TRUST that he COULD learn. It's shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson.” - Frank Herbert, “Dune,” 1965

Franz Liszt was the first List who used the Hungarian written from of his name, where his Father and Grandfather used the Slovak spelling.

Franz Liszt does not belong to anybody.

Thank you. Nicola Tesla was Serbian born in Croatia. My mother and grandmother were born in Kansas, USA. Their ancestors were from the old Austrian Hungarian Empire. These people were and are my heroes. Thanks, again.
First of all he spelled his name as Nikola Tesla. He clearly wrote in his patents that he was from Smiljan-Lika of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. You are so proud of your Serbian past that you don’t mention Michael I. Pupin. He too was a giant of science. While on his hospital deathbed , Tesla visited Pupin who asked his pardon of their falling out of many yeas ago for which Tesla responded, “there is nothing to forgive, my old friend.”
Yes, in today's Croatia. But back then it was the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Just to clarify, his home was in the Krajina region, populated with Serbs mostly, which is a part of today's Croatia. Mihajlo (Michael) Pupin was from another, eastern part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire called Banat. His hometown was Idvor (now in Serbia), hence his American surname Idvorsky. Perhaps the two of the three greatest Serbian scientists and inventors of all time, the third being Milutin Milankovic (mathematician and geophysicist, best known for multiple geological cycles and their effects on climate).
Banat is romanian territory. The small Banat is in Serbia, the big Banat is in Romania with Timishoara as its capital. The serbian Banat and the Timoc Valley, close nearby in Serbia are populated till this day by romanians. The romanians of Serbia speak an archaic dialect of romanian. There is no territorial quarrel between the two countries and tjat is very good. The serbian romanians can go to Romania and romanian serbs can go to Serbia any time they want. And that is very good for the romanians of both countries. Same is happening with the romanians and hungarians living in Hungary and Romania. It does not matter that much if Tesla was serbian or croatian. What it matters is the educational system of the Austro-Hungarian Empire that was totaly reformed in the middle of the 19 century. Emperor Franz Joseph asked a jew scientist to reform the educational system. He did such a good job that towards the end of that century the brilliant brains inside the empire were coming out on tje european scientific scene in droves. 7 of the nobel price hungarian born nuclear scientists who worked at El Alamo were educated before the fall of the Austro- Hungarian Empire. Tesla was also a creation of that high standard educational system. There is a book written by an american lady, daughter of one of these scientist about "9 hungarian scientist who changed the world". I think she was the daughter of the nuclear phisicist Edward Teller but I am not sure.
@@petermarkovits-ke2gp we know where Timisoara is. It is not like anyone could forget Ceaucescu’s bloody massacre there. Who could ever forget such a tragedy? Perhaps you since you can’t even remember the person who helped Franz Josef reform the educational system.
In hungary, we are very proud of their achivements. The school system was reformed by Kuno von Klebelsberg, who set the goal of making the country an "intelectual superpower". The hungarian education system currently has quite a few problems, the biggest is the low amount of respect and compensation the teachers get, ensuring only crazy people (sadly, more often the bad type than the good) get into teaching, and it's a downward spiral. They keep lowering the requirements to get into teaching, but at the same time, keep upping the output requirements, upping class sizes, and cut funding to the point where teachers had to bring printing paper, toilet paper, soap and chalk to some schools. Teachers are constantly overworked, burning out, and ending up very bad teachers. The current system somehow still has some super talented educators and amazing schools, and the good learners often get very good education. The system focuses on the 'talented' kids (measured by the local equivivalent of GPA), and cares very little of those who are a bit slower. Even at elementary schools the groups are sometimes separated at age 10. I was lucky to be born a fast learner and had amazing teachers, but I saw some of the teachers of the 'normal' groups and eww, were they awful. Our schools in fact INCREASE inequalities, be that financial (private tutoring, extra classes) or geographical (some areas have way better schools, even my family considered moving so I can get better schooling, altough my gymnasium is still the best in the region).
Let's add that all the problems currently found in Hungarian education pertain to the state education system. This is not surprising, as teachers only need to comply with a bureaucratic set of rules and are not incentivized to ensure that parents and children are satisfied. Their salary does not depend on their excellence. All these problems would disappear if there were only private schools. However, the political power does not favor this because they would have much less legitimacy to take 55% of workers' income in the form of taxes.
Thank you for taking the time to explain that. So many similar problems with education in the US. Most of these are due to parents not willing to devote any time to helping their children be better students.
When talking about Hungarian Jews, how can you leave out Paul Erdős. He was the most prolific mathematician with 1,500 mathematical papers published during his lifetime.
I think that the fantastically logical grammar of the Hungarian language also influences thinking, i.e. develops it in a beneficial way. When I was in China, I asked why the Chinese don't switch to the Latin script, as e.g. the Vietnamese did. They said that, on the one hand, Chinese writing enables communication across dialects, but the other important advantage is that it greatly improves memory, imagination, and the sense of forms and connections. That is why writing in Latin letters is out of the question. So language, writing, forms of communication affect thinking, and this can be beneficial for creativity as well. “After studying the Hungarian language for years, I can confidently conclude that had Hungarian been my mother tongue, my work it would have been more precious. Simply because through this extraordinary, ancient and powerful language it is possible to precisely describe the tiniest differences and the most secretive tremors of emotions.” ~ Sir Bernard Shaw "Now that I have an idea of the structure of language, it is my opinion: the Hungarian language is the top product of human logic." ~ Ove Berglund; Swedish physician and translator

Living in the US 4 forty some years observing the over 100,000 migrants from 1956 and their achievements… I always maintained Hungarians are at a higher intellectual level! During communism w/ all the negatives we indeed received awesome education that prepared us for successful lives.. there is a famous saying” a magyarok a jeg hatan is megelnek” Hungarians will survive even on an iceberg… and it’s so true… we are beautiful looking people and very creative hard workers blessed with sensational humor! So proud to be one of them.
You "always maintained Hungarians are at a higher intellectual level," in my opinion partly because of a selection bias and partly chauvinistic bias. I have lived in Hungary 30+ years. The people here are like people everywhere, no better, no worse. The culture has had some great successes, but in recent decades has made great mistakes. But I am glad you are proud of your people, because many people here are not. It is one of the big obstacles. A healthy patriotism, optimism and social cohesion are needed, not defeatism or unrealistic nationalism.
Hahaha taking credit for a small group of mainly Hungarian Jews and playing it off as if you are the same as them. "Hungarians are at a higher intellectual level" you sound like Hitler did. All modern day statistics prove otherwise.
Probably our history. Our last 500 years was about constant fight to survive and preserve our country and culture. Only the best and bravest of us could make it.
I heard a theory that it’s linked to the language. Hungarian is fundamentally different from Indo-European languages. It’s a different way of thinking. It’s apparently very challenging if one has to switch back and forth between an Indo-European language and Hungarian. Constant training for the brain that makes one a nudge smarter. True or not, I don’t know. But interesting theory
Táto téma má mimoriadne zaujma, chodil som tiež do gymnázia avšak do slovenskej triedy, materský jazyk mám maďarčinu, jeden postreh.

The role of Hungarian physicists and mathematicians was legendary in the American Manhattan project (atomic physics, production of the atomic bomb) too. The number of Hungarian physics Nobel laureates is quite high. These were all related to brilliant discoveries. For example, the first Hungarian physics Nobel Prize went to Loránt Eötvös, who experimentally proved that inertial mass and gravitational mass are the same. This recognition also played a major role in Einstein's theory of relativity.
Eötvös didn't get a Nobel Prize! 1913-ban a Magyar Tudományos Akadémia felterjesztette Eötvöst a Nobel-díjra, de a Nobel-bizottság Heike Kamerlingh Onnes holland fizikusnak, a szupravezetés felfedezőjének adományozta.

@@madmax6827 It's hard for me to blame the Hungarian government for being cynical about American foreign policy considering how little aid they received in their hour of need.
Foreigners also used to say to us Hungarians: We are the last to enter the revolving door, but we are the first to exit. We have much cruder inventions than these, but our people are exhausted and many smart people have left the country. The communists even urged the departure of the elite. Ede Teller, the father of the atomic bomb, taught atomic physics in Hungarian at university in America because there were no English words. And the first students learned Hungarian. Then, at the age of 90+, Teller said on a visit to Hungary that the students learned atomic physics easily with the help of the Hungarian language, they just got involved in learning the Hungarian language. Our most wonderful invention is the Hungarian language. The whole world envied us. Stone Age language. There is nothing like it.
There is nothing to see here, the Hungarians are Scythians, Huns and Avars, the sons and daughters of Nimrod, the grandchildren of Hunor and Magor... the high culture of these peoples is already manifested in the extraordinary language of the Magyars, this is where everything comes from, the linguistic expression, as well as the ancient runic writing of the Hungarians the basis of their high culture. ❤🤍💚
I live in Hungary.The culture is opressed,knowledge is underrated and hated.I think the reason of the many geniuses are surviving. People needed to survive,some of them became genius because of the periferic situations,they went to abroad,as Hungary never handled well it's people.
Keep in mind that in the ancient times the Huns & the Magyars had bad conflicts and sadly even bloody wars amongst each other! Consider their latest incident the István Contra Koppány historical events when in the meantime the magyar warlords were slaying down even the eurasian hunnic leaders in the steppes who didn't convert to the blasphemous religion of the cross. ☝😶🌫✝👎
"In 1944, Hungarian Regent Miklós Horthy saved more Jews than anyone else in the world. Yet today, next to the efforts of heroic diplomats like Carl Lutz and Raoul Wallenberg, Horthy has become a forgotten footnote to history. The reason? At first glance, Horthy-a self-proclaimed anti-Semite and anti-Communist-was not exactly a hero for the textbooks. But the truth isn’t so simple. Closer examination shows that Horthy paid lip service to the Nazis while privately strategizing how to prevent deportation of the Jews. Horthy defied Hitler, took back partial power and forbade further deportations, ultimately preventing a quarter-million Hungarian Jews from perishing in the Holocaust."
But Jewish deportation by the Nazi was incentivize by the world Jewry’s Zionist agenda of carving out the state of Isreal in Palestine and they need to boost up the number of Jews present in Palestine to create a more legitimate case for their Zionist goal.
Not true. He could avoid to let all the regional jews to be deported. He was weak and coward to save them. Don't try to belittle the sin, please. This makes the entire sin even worse.
@@balazsboros2638 If he was openly opposing Hitler, Germany would have done a coup in Hungary and put a much worse, Nazi leader like Szálasi in power, years before it actually happened and basically no Jews would have survived.
Missed a step between the death of the emperor and the appear of Horthy. A few months of jewish led communism in Hungary, which became extremely unpopular, partially because of the tortures. Horthy was the less radical option than the right wings rising from being opposition to commies, who were cruel as much as the hungarian jewish soviets.
I'm hungarian and always appreciate when people in other countries acknowledge the greatness of our nation 🇭🇺❤️ Especially because not many people in the world is aware of our achievements and inventions that the world is using every day Thank you for this video 🙏😇
Great topic, thank you! As a native Hungarian I think there are two main reasons my nation gave so many brilliant scientist and inventions to the world. First was the education, second was the language. As language in general it is not just a tool to express thoughts, but it's a world mapping model as well. Everyone thinks in a language, it 'wires' the brain according to the logic of the given language. Along with other languages Hungarian is an agglutinating and inflexing language, it's not analytical but analogical. Although this language is written in latin characters, it's not based on those, and uses 6 consonant groups according to the place of sound production. Consonants are the main carriers of meaning of each word. Some physical phenomenons works perfectly in Hungarian, for example: The Doppler effect - 'itt' 'ide' 'erre' (here, to this place) has only high vowels, while 'ott' 'oda' 'arra' (there, to that place) has only low vowels. Light science basics - several basic words are noun and verb in the same form - vár (wait/castle), világ (world/light), él (exist/edge), fog (catch/tooth) and so on. The logic of Hungarian language easily explains some theological questions too, for example, if God is almighty, how can evil exist? In Hungarian, God is 'Isten', and devil is 'Sátán'. Both words consist of the same consonants with different level of vowels. Yes, Isten consists only high vowels, Sátán has only low vowels. Using this ascertainment, we can get to the conclusion God and devil might exist paralelly, but we must not consider their existence as a static thing, but -as life itself- as a dynamic relation: Using the Doppler effect approach here, when someone is getting closer to the source of creation (God) then will see God. And when someone moves away from this source, will face devil. Okay, now a tribute to some of the Hungarian inventors other than those mentioned in the video: Safety matches - János Irinyi Dynamo, Electric motor - Ányos Jedlik Ball pen - László Bíró Transformator - Miksa Déri, Ottó Bláthy, Károly Zipernowsky Telephone exchange - Tivadar Puskás Vitamin C, Ascorbic acid - Albert Szentgyörgyi Holography - Dénes Gábor Rubik's cube - Ernő Rubik Design of Ford T-Model - József Galamb Basic medical disinfection - Ignác Semmelweis ...

This year, two Hungarians received the Nobel prize, albeit one of them (Krausz) moved to/lives in Austria. Karikó Katalin (medicine) and Krausz Ferenc (physics). The names are in the Hungarian order (family name first, followed by the given name; the general to the specific - like in the phone book. (Duh...) it's the same rule in date, address, etc. Date: year, month day, hour, minutes, seconds. This dating order has been adopted by Canada. Address: Town, street, number, floor, number. It's pure LOGIC. The language is a critical factor. A Ukrainian woman who is a programmer, moved to HU and decided to learn Hungarian. She succeeded in a record time, and her comment was, it was quite "easy", "Its structure, internal rules and logic is such, that Hungarian must have been created by a programmer".
Nationalism means that you are proud of your ancestors who gave their life for the country and the incredible old heritage and culture was developed by the same ethnic group! Hungary has been occupied by foreign infiltration since 500! years!

Speaking of martians. Teller Ede (father of hydrogen bomb) made a joke out of his name's english version referring to the martian label. Teller Ede's name in English is Edward Teller, and the monogram is E.T. just like the abbrevation of Extra Terrestrial. Coincidence? :D
Some Remarks, if interested: -"Minta" means sample/example, "Minta Gimnázium" refer its role in training pre-degree teachers at the university right across the street (now named after Eötvös, Loránd ), so it also translates to "Etalon High-school" -The map showing the territories of Austria and Hungary is not correct, as the post-1920 territories was shown. We might agree that either the date of these scientist's birth is relevant for denoting area of these states, or the area where Hungarian-speaking people were in majority at that time. Even the town of Margitta is not on the shown territory. The full name "margittai Neumann János" translates to John Neumann von/of Margitta. -Some of the "martians" gave credit to the Hungarian language also. Maybe it was Teller, Ede. Our language use "most significant first" ordering (names, numbers, dates, etc). Instead of saying: "Johann von Neumanns geburtstag ist in "8-und-20ste Dezember, 9-10-100-3", we say: "Margittai Neumann János születésnapja 1000-900-3, December 20-on-8-adikán van." See also: health is "Unit/Whole-ness", to fear is "1/2", doubt is two-ness, union is "one-ness". And also, we use no genders. There is not even any translation of "gender" to Hungarian. So, we can only translate it as "sex". Hope, that will help.
The video ommitted the brutal, short-lived Communist dictatorship in Hungary in 1919 whose leaders were mostly Jews. The "White Terror" in 1920 under Admiral Horthy was retribution because of the "Red Terror" under the Communist regime.
I remember, when I went to elementary school in Budapest, we had a peasant girl, who always know everything the teacher asked, and a boy who questioned the teachers, cause he was smarter then them( everyone hated him, of course). And the smarters always helped the others in break! we like to share😊
If we talk Horthy, it is important to mention the disastrous "Tanácsköztársaság" (Hungarian Soviet Republic) that mercifully only lasted 133 days (March 21st 1919 to August 1st 1919). Horthy took power only at March 1st 1920, and who knows whether he would have appeared on stage at all if the "Tanácsköztársaság" would not have happened!

It is worth to take a look for some of these "hungarian" scientist. Neumann, Teller, Semmelweis, Ulmann... Szilárd leó ( born name: Spitz Leo), Richter Gedeon, and a lot more.. Half of them are jewish and/or german origin.
Almost all of them are Jewish and have been educated in western universities. All of them are from a small, enlightened urban circle that existed before WW2 in Hungary. Interesting also that on one hand side they are called the Hungarian heroes but also looked down as the internationalists by Hungarians.
Teller was proud Hungarian until his death. Their Jewish origin was not really important , and they never forget where they came from, as well as their mother tongue, what they used as "secret code" to trick the secret services of the US.
In simple word, that means Manhattan project race was compitition between Hungarian scientists vs German scientists. And finally, Hungarian scientists won the race. 🤔
@@RobiHu78 Indeed. A very young Kemeny was in Feynman's computation group at Los Alamos. And for some darn reason, it seems like Budapest is a genius factory, from von Neumann, Wigner, Teller, Szilard, von Karman, Lanczos, Erdos, ... the list seems unending.

Belive me, we have no normal people. Everyone is either really intelligent or a complete idiot. At least these are the types of people I've met.

Nonsense, myth, hülyeség. I started learning Hungarian at the age of 26, rather a late start, but I was fluent within a few years and now I speak it like a native. How hard can it be?
I have heard that the education system in India 🇮🇳 is the opposite: learning a lot of formulas by heart. That’s why they fail in engineering despite having genius level IIT universities. China failed for a very long time. Now they are at least excellent in bridge construction. We in Switzerland 🇨🇭 were closer to the Hungarian 🇭🇺 system in mathematics. However our physics teacher from AUSTRIA 🇦🇹 was a desaster! (When he thought mathematics or programming this ended in disasters too).

A group of scientists from various countries gather for a meeting. As they wait for everyone to arrive, one of them asks, "Is everyone here?" Another replies, "No, the foreign scientists are still absent." After a pause, someone jokes, "Well, in that case, we can continue in Hungarian."
Of all the people mentioned in this video, I found only 1 not being Jewish: Laszlo Racz. Wikipedia states his mother was a Danube German. Also, his surname suggests that his paternal lineage was Serbian (Racz is the old Hungarian word for a Serb).
So , they were Jews from Austria-Hungary ! 😂😂😂 For your info , when Hungarians learned that they are not even more than 50% in their own country , they started the politic of Magyarization of the other ethnicities . First to be Magyarized , were the Jews which accounted for 5% of the population by the end of 19th century . So the Hungarians claimed to be 54% of the population .
@@seaman5705 Very true. Let's not forget that Magyarization was preceded by Germanization by about half a century and has already influenced the Jews who changed their names to fit the society. Interestingly, Germans counted over 50% in the population of Budapest. Later, the number of Jews in Budapest increased to some 23% before Magyarization took place. Here's a particularly interesting quote from Wiki which sheds some light to what's been said in the video: By 1910 about 900,000 religious Jews made up approximately 5% of the population of Hungary and about 23% of Budapest's citizenry. Jews accounted for 54% of commercial business owners, 85% of financial institution directors and owners in banking, and 62% of all employees in commerce,[105] 20% of all general grammar school students, and 37% of all commercial scientific grammar school students, 31.9% of all engineering students, and 34.1% of all students in human faculties of the universities. Jews were accounted for 48.5% of all physicians,[72] and 49.4% of all lawyers/jurists in Hungary.
@@seaman5705 well i dont think so. They are talented, but not so talented in most of the countries. Btw talent is not enough at all, the environment, luck is more important. One example: the 7 million jws in Israel produced only some Olympic gold medals. Hungary produced almost 200, and there were some jwish winners. Some of them won 3 or even 5 gold medals. They could never do that in Israel.

Great video, thank you, just a small correction to the beginning of the video. The size of Hungary was not as big as Austria during the monarchy , it was at that time 325 411 km² , after the world war, Hungary has lost most of its territory (remained only 93 000km² , which could be the death sentence for most other nations, but the Hungarians. Thanks to the leaders of Hungary from 1920 to 1945, first of all to Mr. Klebensberg Kúnó Minister of Education in Hungary, he said, "education is national defense" and education system has been redefined and structured after the tragedy of Hungary. About the genius factor, do not forget about the language, language could be the key factor. It is important to understand and describe the surrounding nature and world, and the ancient, unique Hungarian language (and follows from that the way of thinking and approximation to the problems) can give the the best description of the world, understand the relations and solving the problems. As Mr. Teller Ede (Edward Teller) said that without the Hungarian language "I would have only become a high school teacher"
As a Hungarian, thank you for this presentation. A small note: "Minta gimnázium" means "Exemplary High School" and is a nickname. The proper name of that High School was: "ELTE Trefort Ágoston Gyakorlóiskola" abbreviated as "Trefort". Everybody knows it here as the "Trefort".
From 1990 onwards... At the time when Martians studied there, it was called officially as "m. kir. Tanárképző-intézeti Gyakorló Főgimnázium" (Upper Secondary Grammar School of the Royal Hungarian Institute for Teachers' Training)
We’re well aware he was American (and did a video about him). The point was to show he was one of the main scientists on the manhattan project but I can see how it was made to look like we meant he was foreign
I love all these extraordinary people. We have some thing common - we all are Hungarian. My first word was "víz", water. The hungarian language is excellent for explanations. It is great to be Hungarian.
@bdpv02 Thanks for reminding me. Back in the day, the region and surrounds produced people many who left Europe and pioneered the next breakthroughs to influence every branch of knowledge. There was the great János Bolyai developer of Absolute Geometry. The Great Carl Friedrich Gauss even praised this mathematician.
I think you could ask why so many great sportsmen came from Hungary, why are they the best in the Olympic games per capita, why is their language the best, etc. They are more talented. Maybe I just write it bc Im Hungarian. Maybe we are genetically good, we are very much mixed, almost everybody has a lot of different ancestries and our language is one of the most advanced. And we are very individual.
Under the Horty government Jews were not discriminated. That changed only after the German occupation of Hungary called operation Margarethe Even then, the government was able to delay the deportation of Jews and was able to give many of them enough time to leave the country. However, the German Nazi occupiers imposed the deportations and before that discriminating laws.
You are completely ignorant. The Numerus Clausus law was enacted in 1920 and discrimination continued through the 20s and 30s. Anti-Jewish Laws (1938-1942) were passed by Horthy's government years before the German occupation in 1944. Szégyeld magad!
They were discriminated. Horthy had to apply the anti-jew laws, because if they didn't, the German occupation of Hungary would have happened years sooner, resulting in a lot more fatalities within the country and the deportation of nearly all the jews. But yes, Horthy delayed their deportation as long as he could, and as a result, when the German occupation happened, the Germans and the nazi Nyilas party had no time to deport all of them, because the Soviet occupation came soon and "freed" Hungary.
@@mrnmrn1 Don't make excuses for Horthy. I hear all the talk about the great strong Hungarian nation and Horthy was a strong leader, yet he bowed to external pressure to commit atrocities. AND, the first anti-Jewish law was in 1920. Yes, 1920. Were the Germans threatening to invade then? No, Horthy made all those laws because he and his supporters wanted to.
@@urbangorilla33 I don't make excuses to him. I know the first anti-Jewish law came in power well before the German threat. But discrimination of Jewish people was unforunately relatively common worldwide until ~ the first quarter of the 20th century. Even in the US, AFAIK. That's not an excuse, I know, and discrimination is not the same as having actual written rules against their rights, that was probably not too common outside nazi Germany. It was the second anti-Jewish law that caused the jewish population to lose almost all their rights, wear the yellow star, and eventually getting collected and held in ghettos. And this law was already created under nazi pressure. All I said if Horthy hasn't applied this disgusting second anti-Jewish law, things for the Hungarian Jewish population could have turned a lot worse a lot sooner, due to the German occupation of Hungary happening years earlier. In the beginning, even for a short time after the second law came in power, they even let them to leave the country, so a lot of them could flee to western Europe or the US or anywhere. And the nazi leaders of Germany were not satisfied with the rate of deportations from Hungary, so Horthy indeed delayed that as much as he could. So the Horthy government might have been more or less antisemite, but Horthy did not want the Jewish population to be deported and killed. If that would be false, he would have been found guilty at the Nurenberg trials, where he wasn't even a suspect. I suggest to read the article about Horthy by Rabbi Moshe Goldstein. Even a lot of Hungarian Jews have supported Horthy after WW II. I think that tells a lot.
1:28 Just a quick clarification: Szilárd Leó was never a student of the Mintagimnázium (now known as ELTE Trefort Ágoston Gyakorló Gimnázium). He studied at the VI.th district Főreáliskola. However, other brilliant students such as Tódor Kármán and Pál Heim studied at the Mintagimnázium. I know this because I also graduated from this prominent high school, and some of the rooms are named after these distinguished alumni. :)
It is not about either Hungary, Göttingen in Germany in past or USA in today, it 's all about either Jewish descendants or not. It's true that there are so many non-jewish great scientists. But this is atleast true for most theoretical scientists. Today a major reason for USA to become the hub in scientific creation not because Americans are inherently intelligent, but immigration of Europian Jews from Europe to USA amidst WW2. Just search the background of greatest living theoretical physicsts like Wittten , Glashow , Weinberg[recently died] , Susskind ,Alan Guth , David Gross etc; They all are Americans by the nationality. But they all have Jewish roots.
Ya this is kinda funny how it talks about Hungarian scientists but missing the fact that majority of them (and definitely the most prominent) were Jewish, which is why there was also a mass of prominent Jewish scientists in Germany, Austria, Swiss and many more European countries
@@Marcelgrossman 'most theoretical scientists' doesn't mean everyone. Most countries have atleast one or two elite level scientists even though they are not jewish. But compared to #nobels,field ,Abel and other medals / total population anyone can realize jewish laurettes/ Jewish population much higher than the british Laurettes / british population.

It’s not true. Hungarians are just like to complaining about everything. The wages of the teachers is low that’s true tho they have to fix it but everything else is a lie.

Education in Hungary is extremely high level compared to other Western countries. The salaries has to be fixed still but the level of education is extremely hard and high standard. If you want to talk about respect towards teachers I recon you to see a western school and how are student and teachers are acting over there you would be shocked. Grass is always greener on the other side but in actuality it isn’t . You should start to appreciate what you have over there because when you move abroad you will face reality and it’ll hit you hard when you realise what we have in Hungary is actually not bad.

Designated Hungarian Pessimist Comment. már vártalak❤😂
Edward Teller (who was actually Teller Ede born in Budapest, Hungary) said once that without the Hungarian language he would have just been a mediocre high school teacher... the logic of the Hungarian language gave him the gift of being able to think about things such a unique way...
I think the language is partly responsible. There are no prepositions in Hungarian. The language uses postposition tags so that you have to wait until the end of the sentence to find out who did what. It makes people better listeners. In English, we use lots of prepositions, so we know where the speaker is going before they are done, or so we think. Also, the language is completely phonetic. If you ask how to spell something and how to pronounce something, it is the same question. This saves about two years in language studies over English. English has its advantages, though. You can say just about anything in English. My son's second cousin is a math teacher in Hungary. When he was visiting, my son learned more in two days from him than he learned in an entire semester in high school. Another of my son's second cousins has finished his PhD in Engineering. He has done some post doctoral work at MIT and will be doing more at Cal Tech. One of my Hungarian friends has a PhD in Mathematics and is Erdos 2. Yes, there are a lot of brilliant Hungarians.
There was recently an article on the subject in the German magazine "Sezession". It showed the connection between grammar and mindset. According to the article, language favours logical thinking and also creates a special form of love for one's homeland. Title: Sprechen und Sein. Über Ungarns Identität.

When I was going to a Gimnazium (high school) in Hungary between 1978-1983, after going to a university in America, I didn't have to do anything for the first 2 years because I already learned that in high school. Surviving and passing math without failing was a cause to celebrate in Hungarian high schools. Even getting into high school was very difficult because you had to have a certain number of credits/high score threshold to pass in order to be accepted.
And now our education system is on the brink of collapse. The education system is underpaid, and also highly understaffed. The situation is so bad, that the government will utilize soldiers older than 55 years, and order them to go to schools to teach. There's a village in Hungary where the biology teacher is the local butcher. That's how bad the situation is currently.

All Hungarians I know are versatile and speak excellent English, German and some roman languages too.
There are so many ways to think around ordinary sentence structues to express yourself above just making statements.
You can even swear so melodically, if you put words in the right order to create tension and release like in a symphony.

As far as I know these scientists spoke in Hungarian with each other, and this language is very strange and isnt similar to any other language, thats why they were Martians.
For those who are constantly emphasizing the Jewish origin of these inventors/scientists, here are some facts and also several Non-Jew / Hungarian scientists:
1. As it was mentioned in the video these scientists were educated in Hungarian schools, in Hungarian language - one of the most difficult languages in the world - By the famous math teacher László Rátz - a Hungarian btw..
2. At 4:33 you can hear that: „Jews were elevated to the highest echelons of society” in the Austro-Hungarian empire. John Von Neumann’s father ’was a successful banker and economic advisor to the Hungarian Government’. It’s not hard to imagine that these influential Jewish families had (and still have) a very good „marketing” when it comes to promoting themselves. *Of course this does not detract from their merits*, I just want to emphasize that a Jewish scientist was much more easily in the limelight than non-Jewish scientists.
3. Here are some Non-Jew / Hungarian scientists that you may not know, they didn’t get very high publicity:
• Georg von Békésy - Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (1961)
• Farkas Bolyai - was a Hungarian mathematician, mainly known for his work in geometry.
• János Bolyai - was a Hungarian mathematician who developed absolute geometry-a geometry that includes both Euclidean geometry and hyperbolic geometry.
• Imre Bródy - was a Hungarian physicist who invented in 1930 the krypton-filled fluorescent lamps (also known as the krypton electric bulb) with fellow-Hungarian inventors Emil Theisz, Ferenc Kőrösy and Tivadar Millner.
• Loránd Eötvös - was a Hungarian physicist. He is remembered today largely for his work on gravitation and surface tension, and the invention of the torsion pendulum. Eötvös is remembered today for his experimental work on gravity, in particular his study of the equivalence of gravitational and inertial mass (the so-called weak equivalence principle) and his study of the gravitational gradient on the Earth's surface. The weak equivalence principle plays a prominent role in relativity theory and the Eötvös experiment was cited by Albert Einstein in his 1916 paper The Foundation of the General Theory of Relativity. Measurements of the gravitational gradient are important in applied geophysics, such as the location of petroleum deposits. The CGS unit for gravitational gradient is named the “Eotvos” in his honour.
• Charles Simonyi - Early Microsoft employee Charles Simonyi is the man behind some of the company's most successful software, including *Word and Excel.* The developer has a Ph.D. in computer science from Stanford, and worked on one of the first personal computers at Xerox.
• Michael Somogyi - Was a Hungarian-American professor of biochemistry. He prepared the first insulin treatment given to a child with diabetes in the US in October 1922. Somogyi later showed that excessive insulin makes diabetes unstable in the Chronic Somogyi rebound to which he gave his name.
• Victor Szebehely - was a key figure in the development and success of the Apollo program. In 1956, a dimensionless number used in time-dependent unsteady flows was named "Szebehely's number," (In the September and October 1977 issues of the journal Celestial Mechanics, volume 16, an equation used to determine the gravitational potential of the Earth, planets, satellites, and galaxies was named "Szebehely's equation".
• Albert Szent-Györgyi - was a Hungarian biochemist who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1937. *He is credited with first isolating vitamin C* and discovering many of the components and reactions of the citric acid cycle and the molecular basis of muscle contraction.
• Békésy György - Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine
• Richard Adolf Zsigmondy - He was known for his research in colloids, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1925, as well as for co-inventing the slit-ultramicroscope and different membrane filters. The crater Zsigmondy on the Moon is named in his honour.
• Ferenc Anisits - Hungarian engineer, engine developer. He founded the BMW Diesel Development Center in Steyr, Austria.
• Oszkár Asboth - was an ethnic Hungarian aviation engineer sometimes credited with the invention of the helicopter.
• Béla Barényi - Barényi made numerous crash protection inventions, and is therefore regarded as the father of passive safety in automotive design.
Barényi is also credited with first conceiving the original design for the German people's car (the Volkswagen Beetle) in 1925, - notably by Mercedes-Benz, on their website, including his original technical drawing - five years before Ferdinand Porsche claimed to have made his initial version. Barényi was inducted into the Detroit Automotive Hall of Fame in 1994 and nominated for the award of Car Engineer of the Century in 1999.
• Ottó Bláthy - was a Hungarian electrical engineer. During his career he became the co-inventor of the modern electric transformer the tension regulator the AC watt-hour meter, the turbo generator, the high-efficiency turbo generator and the motor capacitor for the single-phase (AC) electric motor.
• János Csonka - was a Hungarian engineer, the co-inventor of the carburetor for the stationary engine with Donát Bánki, patented on 13 February 1893.
• Miksa Déri - was a Hungarian electrical engineer, inventor, power plant builder. He contributed with his partners Károly Zipernowsky and Ottó Bláthy, in the development of the closed iron core transformer and the ZBD model. His other important invention was the constant voltage AC electrical generator in the Ganz Works in 1883.
• József Galamb - was a Hungarian mechanical engineer most known as main-engineer for designing the Ford Model T.
• Csaba Horváth (chemical engineer) - was a Hungarian-American chemical engineer, particularly noted for building the first high-performance liquid chromatograph.
• János Irinyi - was a Hungarian chemist and inventor of the noiseless and non-explosive match.
• Kálmán Kandó - was a Hungarian engineer, the inventor of phase converter and a pioneer in the development of AC electric railway traction.
• Joseph Petzval - was a Hungarian mathematician, inventor, and physicist best known for his work in optics. Petzval's achievements are used today in cinematography, astronomy, and meteorology. The Astro-Petzval-Objektiv lens is used in astronomy. This objective made a distortion-free illustration of a large part of the sky, as well as permitting photographing of galaxies and star fields. German optics companies (Töpfer, Voigtländerkorrigie, Zeiss) produced the Petzval objective lens until the 1940s. Petzval's largest contributions to optics are his theoretical bases for the construction and correction of optical lens systems. He carried out fundamental work for the theory of aberration in optical systems.
• Tivadar Puskás - was a Hungarian inventor, telephone pioneer, and inventor of the telephone exchange. According to Edison, "Tivadar Puskas was the first person to suggest the idea of a telephone exchange". The first experimental telephone exchange was based on the ideas of Puskás, and it was built by the Bell Telephone Company in Boston in 1877.
• Ernő Rubik - is a Hungarian inventor. He is best-known for creating the Rubik's Cube (1974).
• Kálmán Tihanyi - was a Hungarian physicist, electrical engineer and inventor. One of the early pioneers of electronic television, he made significant contributions to the development of cathode ray tubes (CRTs), which were bought and further developed by the Radio Corporation of America (later RCA) and German companies Loewe and Fernseh AG. He invented and designed the world's first automatic pilotless aircraft in Great Britain. He is also known for the invention of the first infrared video camera in 1929, and coined the first flat panel plasma display in 1936. His Radioskop patent was recognized as a Document of Universal Significance by the UNESCO, and thus became part of the Memory of the World Programme on September 4, 2001.

Many of these gymnasiums (a.k.a. high schools) inculcated a high-degree of self-confidence in their students’ willingness to trust in themselves an ability to learn. These schools encouraged their students to draw their own conclusions from their individual and communal curiosities. And if it so happened that the students’ curiosities led to an incorrect conclusion, then they were gently corrected yet encouraged to remain both curious and open to drawing conclusions elsewhere.
Learning starts with a belief in oneself that one CAN learn.
It reminds me of a quote (all caps are mine):
“Muad'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in HOW TO LEARN. And the first lesson of all was the basic TRUST that he COULD learn. It's shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson.” - Frank Herbert, “Dune,” 1965

Nicola Tesla was Serbian born in Croatia.
My mother and grandmother were born in Kansas, USA. Their ancestors were from the old Austrian Hungarian Empire. These people were and are my heroes.
Thanks, again.
First of all he spelled his name as Nikola Tesla. He clearly wrote in his patents that he was from Smiljan-Lika of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. You are so proud of your Serbian past that you don’t mention Michael I. Pupin. He too was a giant of science. While on his hospital deathbed , Tesla visited Pupin who asked his pardon of their falling out of many yeas ago for which Tesla responded, “there is nothing to forgive, my old friend.”
Yes, in today's Croatia. But back then it was the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Just to clarify, his home was in the Krajina region, populated with Serbs mostly, which is a part of today's Croatia.
Mihajlo (Michael) Pupin was from another, eastern part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire called Banat. His hometown was Idvor (now in Serbia), hence his American surname Idvorsky.
Perhaps the two of the three greatest Serbian scientists and inventors of all time, the third being Milutin Milankovic (mathematician and geophysicist, best known for multiple geological cycles and their effects on climate).
He’s in space rn
Banat is romanian territory. The small Banat is in Serbia, the big Banat is in Romania with Timishoara as its capital. The serbian Banat and the Timoc Valley, close nearby in Serbia are populated till this day by romanians. The romanians of Serbia speak an archaic dialect of romanian. There is no territorial quarrel between the two countries and tjat is very good. The serbian romanians can go to Romania and romanian serbs can go to Serbia any time they want. And that is very good for the romanians of both countries. Same is happening with the romanians and hungarians living in Hungary and Romania. It does not matter that much if Tesla was serbian or croatian. What it matters is the educational system of the Austro-Hungarian Empire that was totaly reformed in the middle of the 19 century. Emperor Franz Joseph asked a jew scientist to reform the educational system. He did such a good job that towards the end of that century the brilliant brains inside the empire were coming out on tje european scientific scene in droves. 7 of the nobel price hungarian born nuclear scientists who worked at El Alamo were educated before the fall of the Austro- Hungarian Empire. Tesla was also a creation of that high standard educational system. There is a book written by an american lady, daughter of one of these scientist about "9 hungarian scientist who changed the world". I think she was the daughter of the nuclear phisicist Edward Teller but I am not sure.
@@petermarkovits-ke2gp we know where Timisoara is. It is not like anyone could forget Ceaucescu’s bloody massacre there. Who could ever forget such a tragedy? Perhaps you since you can’t even remember the person who helped Franz Josef reform the educational system.
In hungary, we are very proud of their achivements. The school system was reformed by Kuno von Klebelsberg, who set the goal of making the country an "intelectual superpower".
The hungarian education system currently has quite a few problems, the biggest is the low amount of respect and compensation the teachers get, ensuring only crazy people (sadly, more often the bad type than the good) get into teaching, and it's a downward spiral. They keep lowering the requirements to get into teaching, but at the same time, keep upping the output requirements, upping class sizes, and cut funding to the point where teachers had to bring printing paper, toilet paper, soap and chalk to some schools. Teachers are constantly overworked, burning out, and ending up very bad teachers.
The current system somehow still has some super talented educators and amazing schools, and the good learners often get very good education. The system focuses on the 'talented' kids (measured by the local equivivalent of GPA), and cares very little of those who are a bit slower. Even at elementary schools the groups are sometimes separated at age 10. I was lucky to be born a fast learner and had amazing teachers, but I saw some of the teachers of the 'normal' groups and eww, were they awful. Our schools in fact INCREASE inequalities, be that financial (private tutoring, extra classes) or geographical (some areas have way better schools, even my family considered moving so I can get better schooling, altough my gymnasium is still the best in the region).
Sounds like America.
Agree
Let's add that all the problems currently found in Hungarian education pertain to the state education system. This is not surprising, as teachers only need to comply with a bureaucratic set of rules and are not incentivized to ensure that parents and children are satisfied. Their salary does not depend on their excellence. All these problems would disappear if there were only private schools. However, the political power does not favor this because they would have much less legitimacy to take 55% of workers' income in the form of taxes.
Thank you for taking the time to explain that. So many similar problems with education in the US. Most of these are due to parents not willing to devote any time to helping their children be better students.
@@szilardecsenyi516 Most people could not afford private education, so this is moot point.
When talking about Hungarian Jews, how can you leave out Paul Erdős. He was the most prolific mathematician with 1,500 mathematical papers published during his lifetime.
Peter Lorrie was Hungarian and Jewish so one realizes how he was typecasted.
I think that the fantastically logical grammar of the Hungarian language also influences thinking, i.e. develops it in a beneficial way. When I was in China, I asked why the Chinese don't switch to the Latin script, as e.g. the Vietnamese did. They said that, on the one hand, Chinese writing enables communication across dialects, but the other important advantage is that it greatly improves memory, imagination, and the sense of forms and connections. That is why writing in Latin letters is out of the question. So language, writing, forms of communication affect thinking, and this can be beneficial for creativity as well.
“After studying the Hungarian language for years, I can confidently conclude that had Hungarian been my mother tongue, my work it would have been more precious. Simply because through this extraordinary, ancient and powerful language it is possible to precisely describe the tiniest differences and the most secretive tremors of emotions.”

You "always maintained Hungarians are at a higher intellectual level," in my opinion partly because of a selection bias and partly chauvinistic bias. I have lived in Hungary 30+ years. The people here are like people everywhere, no better, no worse. The culture has had some great successes, but in recent decades has made great mistakes. But I am glad you are proud of your people, because many people here are not. It is one of the big obstacles. A healthy patriotism, optimism and social cohesion are needed, not defeatism or unrealistic nationalism.
Hahaha taking credit for a small group of mainly Hungarian Jews and playing it off as if you are the same as them. "Hungarians are at a higher intellectual level" you sound like Hitler did. All modern day statistics prove otherwise.

Probably our history. Our last 500 years was about constant fight to survive and preserve our country and culture. Only the best and bravest of us could make it.
I heard a theory that it’s linked to the language. Hungarian is fundamentally different from Indo-European languages. It’s a different way of thinking. It’s apparently very challenging if one has to switch back and forth between an Indo-European language and Hungarian. Constant training for the brain that makes one a nudge smarter. True or not, I don’t know. But interesting theory

The role of Hungarian physicists and mathematicians was legendary in the American Manhattan project (atomic physics, production of the atomic bomb) too. The number of Hungarian physics Nobel laureates is quite high. These were all related to brilliant discoveries. For example, the first Hungarian physics Nobel Prize went to Loránt Eötvös, who experimentally proved that inertial mass and gravitational mass are the same. This recognition also played a major role in Einstein's theory of relativity.
Eötvös didn't get a Nobel Prize! 1913-ban a Magyar Tudományos Akadémia felterjesztette Eötvöst a Nobel-díjra, de a Nobel-bizottság Heike Kamerlingh Onnes holland fizikusnak, a szupravezetés felfedezőjének adományozta.

Foreigners also used to say to us Hungarians: We are the last to enter the revolving door, but we are the first to exit. We have much cruder inventions than these, but our people are exhausted and many smart people have left the country. The communists even urged the departure of the elite.
Ede Teller, the father of the atomic bomb, taught atomic physics in Hungarian at university in America because there were no English words. And the first students learned Hungarian. Then, at the age of 90+, Teller said on a visit to Hungary that the students learned atomic physics easily with the help of the Hungarian language, they just got involved in learning the Hungarian language.
Our most wonderful invention is the Hungarian language. The whole world envied us. Stone Age language.
There is nothing like it.
There is nothing to see here, the Hungarians are Scythians, Huns and Avars, the sons and daughters of Nimrod, the grandchildren of Hunor and Magor... the high culture of these peoples is already manifested in the extraordinary language of the Magyars, this is where everything comes from, the linguistic expression, as well as the ancient runic writing of the Hungarians the basis of their high culture. ❤🤍💚
I live in Hungary.The culture is opressed,knowledge is underrated and hated.I think the reason of the many geniuses are surviving.
People needed to survive,some of them became genius because of the periferic situations,they went to abroad,as Hungary never handled well it's people.
Keep in mind that in the ancient times the Huns & the Magyars had bad conflicts and sadly even bloody wars amongst each other! Consider their latest incident the István Contra Koppány historical events when in the meantime the magyar warlords were slaying down even the eurasian hunnic leaders in the steppes who didn't convert to the blasphemous religion of the cross. ☝😶🌫✝👎
"In 1944, Hungarian Regent Miklós Horthy saved more Jews than anyone else in the world. Yet today, next to the efforts of heroic diplomats like Carl Lutz and Raoul Wallenberg, Horthy has become a forgotten footnote to history.
The reason? At first glance, Horthy-a self-proclaimed anti-Semite and anti-Communist-was not exactly a hero for the textbooks. But the truth isn’t so simple. Closer examination shows that Horthy paid lip service to the Nazis while privately strategizing how to prevent deportation of the Jews. Horthy defied Hitler, took back partial power and forbade further deportations, ultimately preventing a quarter-million Hungarian Jews from perishing in the Holocaust."
But Jewish deportation by the Nazi was incentivize by the world Jewry’s Zionist agenda of carving out the state of Isreal in Palestine and they need to boost up the number of Jews present in Palestine to create a more legitimate case for their Zionist goal.
Not true. He could avoid to let all the regional jews to be deported. He was weak and coward to save them. Don't try to belittle the sin, please. This makes the entire sin even worse.
@@balazsboros2638 If he was openly opposing Hitler, Germany would have done a coup in Hungary and put a much worse, Nazi leader like Szálasi in power, years before it actually happened and basically no Jews would have survived.
Bullshit
Not true, most of auschwitz was hungarian jew and hungarian gypsys.
We are taking this video to 1 million.

Missed a step between the death of the emperor and the appear of Horthy. A few months of jewish led communism in Hungary, which became extremely unpopular, partially because of the tortures. Horthy was the less radical option than the right wings rising from being opposition to commies, who were cruel as much as the hungarian jewish soviets.
I'm hungarian and always appreciate when people in other countries acknowledge the greatness of our nation 🇭🇺❤️

Thank you for this video 🙏😇
Great topic, thank you!
As a native Hungarian I think there are two main reasons my nation gave so many brilliant scientist and inventions to the world. First was the education, second was the language.
As language in general it is not just a tool to express thoughts, but it's a world mapping model as well. Everyone thinks in a language, it 'wires' the brain according to the logic of the given language. Along with other languages Hungarian is an agglutinating and inflexing language, it's not analytical but analogical. Although this language is written in latin characters, it's not based on those, and uses 6 consonant groups according to the place of sound production. Consonants are the main carriers of meaning of each word.
Some physical phenomenons works perfectly in Hungarian, for example:
The Doppler effect - 'itt' 'ide' 'erre' (here, to this place) has only high vowels, while 'ott' 'oda' 'arra' (there, to that place) has only low vowels.
Light science basics - several basic words are noun and verb in the same form - vár (wait/castle), világ (world/light), él (exist/edge), fog (catch/tooth) and so on.
The logic of Hungarian language easily explains some theological questions too, for example, if God is almighty, how can evil exist?
In Hungarian, God is 'Isten', and devil is 'Sátán'. Both words consist of the same consonants with different level of vowels. Yes, Isten consists only high vowels, Sátán has only low vowels.
Using this ascertainment, we can get to the conclusion God and devil might exist paralelly, but we must not consider their existence as a static thing, but -as life itself- as a dynamic relation:
Using the Doppler effect approach here, when someone is getting closer to the source of creation (God) then will see God. And when someone moves away from this source, will face devil.
Okay, now a tribute to some of the Hungarian inventors other than those mentioned in the video:
Safety matches - János Irinyi
Dynamo, Electric motor - Ányos Jedlik
Ball pen - László Bíró
Transformator - Miksa Déri, Ottó Bláthy, Károly Zipernowsky

This year, two Hungarians received the Nobel prize, albeit one of them (Krausz) moved to/lives in Austria.
Karikó Katalin (medicine) and Krausz Ferenc (physics). The names are in the Hungarian order (family name first, followed by the given name; the general to the specific - like in the phone book. (Duh...) it's the same rule in date, address, etc. Date: year, month day, hour, minutes, seconds. This dating order has been adopted by Canada. Address: Town, street, number, floor, number.
It's pure LOGIC.
The language is a critical factor.
A Ukrainian woman who is a programmer, moved to HU and decided to learn Hungarian. She succeeded in a record time, and her comment was, it was quite "easy", "Its structure, internal rules and logic is such, that Hungarian must have been created by a programmer".
Don’t forget, that at the end of WW1 the 2/3 of Hungary was teared down from the country and that gave flame to natioanlism.
yes but they lost, the war

Excellent presentation..and from such a beautiful presenter 🎉
Our flag is red-white-green (from the the left to the right), the opposite is Italian… Nuance, but it means a lot to us!
Speaking of martians. Teller Ede (father of hydrogen bomb) made a joke out of his name's english version referring to the martian label.
Teller Ede's name in English is Edward Teller, and the monogram is E.T. just like the abbrevation of Extra Terrestrial. Coincidence? :D
When this was pointed out to Teller, he quipped: "von Karman must have been talking."
Some Remarks, if interested:
-"Minta" means sample/example, "Minta Gimnázium" refer its role in training pre-degree teachers at the university right across the street (now named after Eötvös, Loránd ), so it also translates to "Etalon High-school"
-The map showing the territories of Austria and Hungary is not correct, as the post-1920 territories was shown. We might agree that either the date of these scientist's birth is relevant for denoting area of these states, or the area where Hungarian-speaking people were in majority at that time. Even the town of Margitta is not on the shown territory. The full name "margittai Neumann János" translates to John Neumann von/of Margitta.
-Some of the "martians" gave credit to the Hungarian language also. Maybe it was Teller, Ede. Our language use "most significant first" ordering (names, numbers, dates, etc). Instead of saying: "Johann von Neumanns geburtstag ist in "8-und-20ste Dezember, 9-10-100-3", we say: "Margittai Neumann János születésnapja 1000-900-3, December 20-on-8-adikán van." See also: health is "Unit/Whole-ness", to fear is "1/2", doubt is two-ness, union is "one-ness".
And also, we use no genders. There is not even any translation of "gender" to Hungarian. So, we can only translate it as "sex". Hope, that will help.
Good point - that occurred to me too. Apart from the fact that Hungarians are super nice people.
Magyar zászlót sem sikerült kiválasztani!!! Nevetséges, egyben szomorú!🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺
The video ommitted the brutal, short-lived Communist dictatorship in Hungary in 1919 whose leaders were mostly Jews. The "White Terror" in 1920 under Admiral Horthy was retribution because of the "Red Terror" under the Communist regime.
I remember, when I went to elementary school in Budapest, we had a peasant girl, who always know everything the teacher asked, and a boy who questioned the teachers, cause he was smarter then them( everyone hated him, of course). And the smarters always helped the others in break! we like to share😊
excellent video. thank you for sharing this.
If we talk Horthy, it is important to mention the disastrous "Tanácsköztársaság" (Hungarian Soviet Republic) that mercifully only lasted 133 days (March 21st 1919 to August 1st 1919). Horthy took power only at March 1st 1920, and who knows whether he would have appeared on stage at all if the "Tanácsköztársaság" would not have happened!
Would be nice to learn the history of that era before spreading the full non sense about it pls.
I also studied at the Lutheran school between 1991-1995. One of my classmates went on to become an outstanding mathematician.

It is worth to take a look for some of these "hungarian" scientist. Neumann, Teller, Semmelweis, Ulmann... Szilárd leó ( born name: Spitz Leo), Richter Gedeon, and a lot more.. Half of them are jewish and/or german origin.
Exactly
Much more than half
Worth it for whom?
Almost all of them are Jewish and have been educated in western universities. All of them are from a small, enlightened urban circle that existed before WW2 in Hungary. Interesting also that on one hand side they are called the Hungarian heroes but also looked down as the internationalists by Hungarians.
Teller was proud Hungarian until his death. Their Jewish origin was not really important , and they never forget where they came from, as well as their mother tongue, what they used as "secret code" to trick the secret services of the US.
And a Hungarian wrote the book "The Paul Street boys"
I'm so proud of our hungarian scientists❤ proud to be hungarian ❤

Of all the people mentioned in this video, I found only 1 not being Jewish: Laszlo Racz.
Wikipedia states his mother was a Danube German. Also, his surname suggests that his paternal lineage was Serbian (Racz is the old Hungarian word for a Serb).
So , they were Jews from Austria-Hungary ! 😂😂😂
For your info , when Hungarians learned that they are not even more than 50% in their own country , they started the politic of Magyarization of the other ethnicities . First to be Magyarized , were the Jews which accounted for 5% of the population by the end of 19th century . So the Hungarians claimed to be 54% of the population .
@@seaman5705 Very true. Let's not forget that Magyarization was preceded by Germanization by about half a century and has already influenced the Jews who changed their names to fit the society. Interestingly, Germans counted over 50% in the population of Budapest. Later, the number of Jews in Budapest increased to some 23% before Magyarization took place.
Here's a particularly interesting quote from Wiki which sheds some light to what's been said in the video:
By 1910 about 900,000 religious Jews made up approximately 5% of the population of Hungary and about 23% of Budapest's citizenry. Jews accounted for 54% of commercial business owners, 85% of financial institution directors and owners in banking, and 62% of all employees in commerce,[105] 20% of all general grammar school students, and 37% of all commercial scientific grammar school students, 31.9% of all engineering students, and 34.1% of all students in human faculties of the universities. Jews were accounted for 48.5% of all physicians,[72] and 49.4% of all lawyers/jurists in Hungary.

Great video, thank you, just a small correction to the beginning of the video. The size of Hungary was not as big as Austria during the monarchy , it was at that time 325 411 km² , after the world war, Hungary has lost most of its territory (remained only 93 000km² , which could be the death sentence for most other nations, but the Hungarians. Thanks to the leaders of Hungary from 1920 to 1945, first of all to Mr. Klebensberg Kúnó Minister of Education in Hungary, he said, "education is national defense" and education system has been redefined and structured after the tragedy of Hungary.
About the genius factor, do not forget about the language, language could be the key factor. It is important to understand and describe the surrounding nature and world, and the ancient, unique Hungarian language (and follows from that the way of thinking and approximation to the problems) can give the the best description of the world, understand the relations and solving the problems.
As Mr. Teller Ede (Edward Teller) said that without the Hungarian language "I would have only become a high school teacher"
I’m proud of my inheritance and my beautiful nation ❤🇭🇺
As a Hungarian, thank you for this presentation. A small note:
"Minta gimnázium" means "Exemplary High School" and is a nickname. The proper name of that High School was: "ELTE Trefort Ágoston Gyakorlóiskola" abbreviated as "Trefort". Everybody knows it here as the "Trefort".
So, is it the gulasch? 🤔
From 1990 onwards... At the time when Martians studied there, it was called officially as "m. kir. Tanárképző-intézeti Gyakorló Főgimnázium" (Upper Secondary Grammar School of the Royal Hungarian Institute for Teachers' Training)
There was many revolutions against the habsburg throne , Hungary was dragged into the first world war by austria

I think you could ask why so many great sportsmen came from Hungary, why are they the best in the Olympic games per capita, why is their language the best, etc. They are more talented.

And we are very individual.
Under the Horty government Jews were not discriminated. That changed only after the German occupation of Hungary called operation Margarethe Even then, the government was able to delay the deportation of Jews and was able to give many of them enough time to leave the country. However, the German Nazi occupiers imposed the deportations and before that discriminating laws.
They also failed to mention that when Horthy "seized" power, he did so from a Communist Dictatorship that had already committed multiple atrocities.
You are completely ignorant. The Numerus Clausus law was enacted in 1920 and discrimination continued through the 20s and 30s. Anti-Jewish Laws (1938-1942) were passed by Horthy's government years before the German occupation in 1944. Szégyeld magad!
They were discriminated. Horthy had to apply the anti-jew laws, because if they didn't, the German occupation of Hungary would have happened years sooner, resulting in a lot more fatalities within the country and the deportation of nearly all the jews. But yes, Horthy delayed their deportation as long as he could, and as a result, when the German occupation happened, the Germans and the nazi Nyilas party had no time to deport all of them, because the Soviet occupation came soon and "freed" Hungary.
@@mrnmrn1 Don't make excuses for Horthy. I hear all the talk about the great strong Hungarian nation and Horthy was a strong leader, yet he bowed to external pressure to commit atrocities. AND, the first anti-Jewish law was in 1920. Yes, 1920. Were the Germans threatening to invade then? No, Horthy made all those laws because he and his supporters wanted to.
@@urbangorilla33 I don't make excuses to him. I know the first anti-Jewish law came in power well before the German threat. But discrimination of Jewish people was unforunately relatively common worldwide until ~ the first quarter of the 20th century. Even in the US, AFAIK. That's not an excuse, I know, and discrimination is not the same as having actual written rules against their rights, that was probably not too common outside nazi Germany.
It was the second anti-Jewish law that caused the jewish population to lose almost all their rights, wear the yellow star, and eventually getting collected and held in ghettos. And this law was already created under nazi pressure.
All I said if Horthy hasn't applied this disgusting second anti-Jewish law, things for the Hungarian Jewish population could have turned a lot worse a lot sooner, due to the German occupation of Hungary happening years earlier. In the beginning, even for a short time after the second law came in power, they even let them to leave the country, so a lot of them could flee to western Europe or the US or anywhere. And the nazi leaders of Germany were not satisfied with the rate of deportations from Hungary, so Horthy indeed delayed that as much as he could. So the Horthy government might have been more or less antisemite, but Horthy did not want the Jewish population to be deported and killed. If that would be false, he would have been found guilty at the Nurenberg trials, where he wasn't even a suspect.
I suggest to read the article about Horthy by Rabbi Moshe Goldstein. Even a lot of Hungarian Jews have supported Horthy after WW II. I think that tells a lot.
Great video!
1:28 Just a quick clarification: Szilárd Leó was never a student of the Mintagimnázium (now known as ELTE Trefort Ágoston Gyakorló Gimnázium). He studied at the VI.th district Főreáliskola. However, other brilliant students such as Tódor Kármán and Pál Heim studied at the Mintagimnázium.

It is not about either Hungary, Göttingen in Germany in past or USA in today, it 's all about either Jewish descendants or not. It's true that there are so many non-jewish great scientists. But this is atleast true for most theoretical scientists. Today a major reason for USA to become the hub in scientific creation not because Americans are inherently intelligent, but immigration of Europian Jews from Europe to USA amidst WW2.
Just search the background of greatest living theoretical physicsts like Wittten , Glashow , Weinberg[recently died] , Susskind ,Alan Guth , David Gross etc; They all are Americans by the nationality. But they all have Jewish roots.
Exactly 😎👍
Ya this is kinda funny how it talks about Hungarian scientists but missing the fact that majority of them (and definitely the most prominent) were Jewish, which is why there was also a mass of prominent Jewish scientists in Germany, Austria, Swiss and many more European countries
And America continues by attracting the top talent from China, India, Africa, etc, rather than building schools, right? 😮

[Small correction. Darwin is a biologist and Hawking is not in the elite level of Einstein , Heisenberg etc; even though general public compare him to Einstein.
