@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidYeah, and Hemann Goering begat Bettina Goering, who advocates for confronting historical guilt and preventing radicalization. You fellers bespeak radicalization, so..........there you have it.
We invented you.
Try another slant on life....
@AverageJoe1 saidDo you seriously want to go up against the UK when it comes to inventions and something you'll be using today?!
Let's comare inventions. something you will use today was invented here.
The computer? - . Englishmen Charles Babbage and Alan Turing
The World Wide Web? - Englishman Sir Tim Berners-Lee
Television? - Scotsman John Logie Baird
The bicycle you'll use today to get to the job centre - ...
The bloody language you're using using to type - etc etc
@Ponderable saidSilly goose. Pardon my pride is a polite way to acknowledge that what I am about to say sounds boastful or bragging about my country. It softens the impact that what I say may sound arrogant. USA citizens have a lot to be proud about. Just the accomplishments of our administration should tell you that.
So read your original post again.
* "Pardon my pride" There is not the slightest inking that you think that there is anything wrong with your pride.
Asking for pardon is done like this: " I did post a demenaning post. That was wrong and I feel the negaitev effect of it. I will do differently from now on."
People apologizing for something were they see no fault are n ...[text shortened]... show your superiority by proxy, or is ther anything different?
"Turn up the sound!!!" Same here.
So, with that proviso at.the outset of my post, no apology is called for.
No link would create the moment, the chills of it happening, the cheers. Would not do it justice.
So, tell us that we have no superiority. In what, pray tell?? And, What proxy? I am just a reporter. A newspaper operates not with 'proxy'.
You seethe with jealousy. No sound needed.
Does Nlands have a space program? I googled it ,,,,it is for 'societal benefits'. You know, socialists use that term a lot. brrrrrrrrrrr
@Ponderable saidI did not contribute knowledge nor sweat. Got me there. 🤔
I am a proud American. - We already know.
I think I will go out and smell the freedom. - Enjoy
Get CHATgp to compare us. - Chat GPT didn't know you 🙁 Give me your ORCID and I piost mine and we let people who know how to read that compare.
Have you already thought of your government today? - Yes I did and I am not content with Friedrich Merz.
gotten your comfort bla ...[text shortened]... also breathes self-aggrandization. So I repeat GoAd's question: What exactly was your contribution?

AI Overview
The US ranks highly in modern inventions due to a combination of factors: a robust ecosystem of universities, tech companies, and venture capital; a strong culture of innovation that supports risk-taking and intellectual property; significant investment in research and development (R&D); and a large pool of skilled talent, including immigrants. This creates a fertile ground for breakthroughs in fields like technology and science, although other countries are rapidly increasing their innovation capacity.
The claim that the US has produced the MOST inventions is supported by data on patented inventions and a history of groundbreaking discoveries in the modern era. This success is attributed to a combination of factors, including a system that incentivizes inventors, top-tier universities fostering research, and a large talent pool.
Evidence of US invention leadership
The United States is linked to a significant portion of major inventions listed by sources like Encyclopædia Britannica, including the internet, microchip, airplane, and refrigerator.
In 2020, the US had the highest number of patent grants globally, indicating a high level of inventive output, notes World Population Review.
The country is a major hub for innovation, reflected in its high ranking in the Global Innovation Index 2025.
Contributing factors
Incentives: The US free enterprise system provides a strong incentive for inventors to commercialize their creations, as it allows for the combination of capital, labor, and a large market.
Talent pool: The presence of world-renowned universities like MIT and Stanford attracts and produces brilliant minds, while a significant influx of skilled immigrants further enhances the talent pool.
Resources: The US has advanced technological resources, including research labs and manufacturing facilities, that support the creation and scaling of new technologies.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidI'm certain that the little fella was somehow trying to give his false god Humpty Trumpty credit for all of the worlds space exploration.
Congrats.
Being so full of pride, I'm assuming you played an active role in the success?
(Rhetorical question alert).
Kind of like how trump saved the Puerto Rico people from the hurricane devastation by throwing them roles of paper towels.

Hey Ghost, I do not think you can claim Steve Jobs or Bill Gates , regarding the Computer world, and the Internet.
An American name Robert Gere actually invented the corrugated cardboard box, which evolved into a container for us to put our computers in.!
Tell us some more things that you invented. There are a lot more things in your house from here than we have from there.
Give it up man. Join with King Solomon.
@Ponderable saidPeople apologizing for something where they see no fault are not asking for forgiveness at all, but are using the "apology" as a weapon. That is evil behavior.
So read your original post again.

@AverageJoe1 saidNot sure if you ever heard of NASA? I used to work there, Goddard space flight center? Those were American probes and BTW the two just launched are not landing they are going in orbit to study the Martian atmosphere, not landing.
But whom? Netherlands? Romania? Canada? Uganda? Jamaica? India?

If there was no Charles Babbage and Alan Turing, there would be no Steve Jobs or Bill Gates.
Stick that in your pipe.

I went to the library and did all of this research. Please read it. Thank you very much.
The people “ahead of Turing” — the ones whose work directly led to his discoveries — were primarily:
1.George Boole – logic as algebra
2.Gottlob Frege – modern formal logic
3.David Hilbert – posed the big problem Turing solved
4.Kurt Gödel – limits of formal systems
5.Alonzo Church – lambda calculus + direct parallel to Turing’s work
6.Emil Post – alternate computational model
Turing’s breakthrough was to combine logic, mathematics, and mechanization into the idea of a universal machine .
He did some stuff, turkey, but he stood on a LOT of SHOULDERS, so you got nuthin. Nuthin.
