Interesting summary. I'm sure a few countries would dispute that English
is established as the commonly used planet-wide language. (And does
"American" consitute as 'English'?! (:-))

And:
###
Lastly, physicist Alan Guth of MIT, one of the originators of the
inflationary universe theory, has even computed the energy necessary to
create a baby universe in the laboratory (the temperature is 1,000
trillion degrees, which is within the range of these hypothetical
civilizations).

We may yet be just a fleeting experiment for some white mice![1]

So, if not English, what then? American is not a language, English is.

Esperanto?

Or a better pan-cultural 'Esperanto'??

The American-centric view would push for American-English. A more
historical view could well push for British-"Queen's"-English. An
Asia-centric view I would expect push for Chinese. By sheer weight of
numbers, perhaps we should move to Indian-English?...
