the whole idea of there having to be a single "capital" of culture or science is euro shit, steeped in colonialism and the need to maintain cultural hegemony. The global south is home to thousands of cultures, more vibrant and alive than lmayos can even imagine, and they all have their centers and reference points, that are looking to the West less and less, as of late.
