As a White American, I feel like I've mostly learned about major discoveries in physics or chemistry by American or European Scientists.

For example, learning about the laws of motion from Isaac Newton, or the lightbulb being invented by Thomas Edison (or Nikola Tesla).

To what extent is my local cultural bias playing into my perception of most major discoveries being made by white scientists? Are there any notably blindspots that my education has likely given me?

To expand:

Let's say I was homeless for most of my life, never had any loans or assets, and have absolutely no living family, even second cousins or anything of that nature.

I have 100 million dollars just sitting in a checking account. What happens to that money while I'm in prison, and what happens to that money when I die?

My main gig is already taking most of my weekends, but I need something I can viably do to get some extra cash. I'm sick of the "Make you work 50 hours a week commission only" doorknocking jobs.

This post on /r/holup has a shelf in the background that resembles LSD, but it definitely has some differences. Does this shelf actually resemble any real molecules?

I want to run a One-Shot inspired by the Pitt, with intense emergency room care in a magical modern city. My playgroup is most familiar with DnD 5e, but I can already see the problems that system would present in this type of environment. Does anyone have reccomendations for simple systems I could adapt for this one-shot instead of DnD rules?
