when i ask something about science or math, only a handful of people answering the question.
so i think maybe it is true, science and math is hard.
well, to think that i know a little about science too, eventhough im from a third world country, maybe i have a chance to get nobel prize too, didnt i?

You are correct that a very low percentage of the world's population consider themselves math or science experts. I would not even portend to be an expert. Most people are content to just go along with what others express to be true without any scientific or critical thinking envolved.
You may have a chance at the nobel prize if you persue that goal. I would however suggest a little work on your grammer if you are to communicate well in an english speaking community.

Basic science and math are not any harder than reading or writing. That many people are struggling with either is the result of poor education systems and insufficient intellectual support from their parents.
In the developed world the best recipe to produce a dumb child is to put it in front of a tv rather than to read to it from a book. In the developing world almost the same situation results from parents not having enough money to buy books or from not being able to read themselves.
To be a Nobel prize winner takes a lot more than just a little knowledge and it doesn't matter where you are from. First and foremost you have to do the right kind of research at the right time. I wouldn't plan my life around winning the prize. You might end up bitter and disappointed.

my guess would be somewhere less than 5%. and you will have to come up with something very difficult to get a Nobel prize.

What is a math "expert?" Algebra? Trigonometry? Vector Calculus?

Absolutely you do. Genius, smarts, brains - whatever you want to call it - is random. Poor people, rich people, people in any country can, with work and dedication, rise to be the best in whatever their field is.
Best of luck to you.
