Wisdom of the Martians of Science refers to five scientists whose
brilliance contributed to shaping the modern world. John von
Neumann was a pioneer of the modern computer; Theodore von Karman
was the scientist behind the US Air Force; Leo Szilard initiated
the development of nuclear weapons; the Nobel laureate Eugene P
Wigner was the world's first nuclear engineer; and Edward Teller
was the father of the hydrogen bomb. They were born and raised in
Budapest, were forced out of Hungary and then from Germany, they
became Americans, and devoted themselves to the defense of the
United States and the Free World.They contributed significant
discoveries to fundamental science ranging from the properties of
materials to the application of the symmetry principle in physics,
to creating information theory, to game theory. The areas in which
we can learn about their wisdom include applications of science to
past, present and future real-world needs; defense; education;
environment; human nature; humor; politics; religion; weather
modification, and others.This book shows the wisdom of the Martians
by presenting their thoughts and ideas in their own words and
placing them into context. Their wisdom is intriguing, witty,
provocative and thought provoking. It extended over many aspects of
life and culture that impinge on our existence. While we cannot
always agree with what they say, they are never boring. The power
of their words and their philosophies will inspire the readers to
pursue their own dreams.
