Well, you've got Stephen Hawking right there in Britian too (let's not sleight him) and he's done much to get us closer towards a unified theory combining relativity with quantum mechanics. His work has helped to keep other research cutting-edge like the work of brilliant astronomer Eric Becklin over at UCLA. His primary interest has been in black holes at the center of our galaxy.
As much as I love Jung, Kierkegaard, Dostoyevsky, and Picasso,
Albert Einstein is clearly the man of the last millenium.
