Inventions – stories of Hungarian genius
An exceptional Hungarian mind. A visionary who far surpassed his own age – and ultimately changed the world.
What happens at the moment when an experiment takes shape? After long trials, failures, and restarts, when does the "picture finally come together"? CODE's new immersive experience invites you to relive that moment. The moment when inspiration comes to life. Discover the genius of Hungarian inventors through their extraordinary inventions and unique life stories!
Do you know what Rubik's cube, soda, life-sustaining vitamin C, future medicine-shapingnbsp;mRNA technology, and the operation of modern computers? The answer: Hungarian genius. They are inventors and scientists who, with their vision, have gone far beyond the limits of their own age. Innovators. Creators. Geniuses. Exceptional Hungarian minds who dared to dream big and changed the world in the process.
Five unique life journeys, five extraordinary discoveries
A common driving force: the desire to create.
Ernő Rubik, Ányos Jedlik, Albert Szent-Györgyi, Katalin Karikó, and János Neumann.
A different era, a different background, yet the same inner drive: to understand, reinterpret and create.
In CODE's latest immersive screening, you can not only learn about the history of world-renowned Hungarian inventions, but also experience them firsthand., but you can also experience the moment of divine inspiration up close. In a way that you have never read about in books before. Light, sound, and space guide you through the epoch-making moments when the future first took shape.
Discover the legacy of Hungarian geniuses, of which we can be justifiably proud. But how much do you know about the history of world-famous inventors?
Ernő Rubik – architect, sculptor, and creator of the Rubik's Cube. A cube, six colors, and a logical puzzle that is much more than a game: it has become an iconic tool for spatial thinking and problem solving around the world.
Jedlik Ányos—Hungarian Benedictine monk, physicist, and inventor, pioneer of the electric motor and dynamo. His name is associated with the development of industrial soda production, without which one of the most popular drinks on hot summer days – fresh juice – would not even exist.
Albert Szent-Györgyi – Nobel Prize-winning physician and biochemist who researched the fundamentals of human physiology. With his discovery of ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, he opened a new chapter in medical science, which proved to be of fundamental importancein the prevention and treatment of scurvy and fundamentally reshaped our understanding of health maintenance.
Katalin Karikó – Nobel Prize-winning biochemist, pioneer of mRNA technology, whose perseverance has completely transformed the world of modern medicine. Over several decades of work, he developed mRNA technology, which laid the foundation for modern vaccines and therapies and saved the lives of millions of people around the world.
János Neumann—mathematician, physicist, and computer scientist, creator of the foundations of the digital world, developer of the Neumann principles that still determine the operation of computers today. His achievements not only played a key role in launching the digital revolution , but also influenced the fields of game theory and quantum mechanics.
CODE's sensory experience not only introduces you to these exceptional minds, but also reveals the history of their discoveries. Step into the world of Hungarian genius and science, and experience what it feels like when inspiration strikes. It's as if you were standing there yourself in the workshop or laboratory when the spark of inspiration strikes.
How long does it take to solve a Rubik's cube at world record speed? Why did paprika lead to the discovery of vitamin C? Where does the name "fröccs" actually come from? How is the name János Neumann connected to the development of artificial intelligence, and how did mRNA technology make its way from the laboratory to everyday medicine?
The Találmányok informative and entertaining, you will not only find answers to the above questions, but you will also be able to experience the history of their creation. Be part of this breathtaking scientific journey – follow the extraordinary experience of how the geniusbreak free from their walls and set off on their journey into the world.
In CODE, science is not a textbook definition, but a tangible reality: an audiovisual experience that surrounds you, moves you, and captivates you in a way you have never experienced before.
