In Physics the 2 giant contributions from the XX century (Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity) were developed in Europe. In Mathematics the big highlights of the XX century: the Hilbert Program, the Bourbaki group, computability,the FLT solution were mainly made outside the US. First satellite? First man in space? USSR Europe was a big contributor to the first computers: Colossus, Zuse's Z2. The Germans were pioneers in rocketry and ballistics as it is sadly very well known by the rest of the work. In Biology: Watson, Crick, Monod,Ian Wilmut,Maynar-Smith made fantastic and foundational contributions Medicine? Antibiotics,discovery of tetanus vaccine, immunological agents, vitamins, all made outside of the US. That's not to say that American has not make fantastic contributions, The Apollo program, the invention of the transistor, the invention of the Internet are highlights of American ingenuity and glorious gifts to the rest of the world. But pretending that all good science is made only in the US and the rest of the world in some sort of scientific backwater is just a sad indictment of the American educational system that formed you.
