As explained on p. 57 of George Marx’ comprehensive treatiseThe Voice of the Martians [1] (a pun on Leo Szilárd’sVoice of the Dolphins [2]), the titleThe Martians refers to another Szilárd joke, namely to his reply to a question of Fermi’s. In end-of-the-Century parlance, Fermi’s question would be formulated as follows: —With the galaxy presumably full of planetary systems, thereby also of life and thus of intelligence, where are all those extraterrestrials? [3] — to which Szilárd answered —They are among us, but they call themselves Hungarian… — One of these individuals of high intellectual stature, is (“let him be distinguished by a long life” as we would add in such cases by Jewish custom)Edward Teller.
