Nobody says black people can't invent stuff. Anybody can invent something, given enough pieces of scrap, time, and patience. There have already been plenty of examples of people with lower educational qualifications than Mr. Smoot who invented stuff, like housewives, Sub-Saharan African villagers, and rappers with a bit too much spare time.
The problem is that even though it's possible to find a variety of people who have invented stuff (physical items), it's not that easy to find people from a variety of ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds who've proposed truly novel scientific theories. You can find lots of people in India and Argentina who study quantum physics, but how many people can you find who proposed something as impactful as the Schrödinger wave equation? Where are the Feynmans and Diracs of Cambodia and Congo? Who's the Grothendieck of Gambia?

Lots of things in math and physics are named after Indian people. Ramanujan is idolised like some kind of math God and didn't even have formal training. Other races im not sure, but you can tell from the names of things usually if it was by an Indian. Maybe black surnames don't stand out as much. George Washington Carver was pretty well known for his agriculture innovations

Morgan Freeman is just reading a script. He didn't actually produce the information used in the documentaries he voices.

Theres a few of those around. Regarding the topic, wheres the Schrodingers of Austria today? Never seen anything out of that region since the 50s

It's me. I am the modern day Schrödinger. I regularly post on /sci/ but received no scientific or mathematical education. I know nothing about 99% of topics here. I strictly post here to shitpost with misinformation. But whether or not I've annoyed someone is in a state of superposition (from my reference frame) until I get a (you). Until then, anons are simultaneously both annoyed AND altogether ignoring me.

Juan Maldacena is from Argentina and is probably one of the top 10 living theoretical physicists (he is usually credited with discovering AdS/CFT, which is often considered the biggest advance in theoretical physics of the last 40 years). There are many famous theoretical physicists from India. If you are talking about the Schrodinger equation you've probably heard of Bose from "Bose-Einstein." Also Sudarshan helped develop the Standard Model and quantum optics. And there are many other examples that you may or may not have heard of, depending on your knowledge of physics (Chandrasekar is probably the next most famous to the general public)

But I don't know any African theoretical physicists (impactful or not).

Your ignorance of the world does not mean everyone else was or is as ignorant as you.

Not just theoretical physicists, I don't think I've even heard of a single mathematician from africa in the entire history of mankind, I don't think they even had numbers before other people came there
