      300 moons? I would normally assume that meant 300 nights. In what context are you using “moons” here @neiltyson ? I’m assuming it’s something astronomical that I’ve never learned.

      Perhaps 28 days? Don't forget the leap years when you calculate the days in the last 17 years. Hint: 2000 wasn't a leap year, 2004 was. And remember that none of these numbers is exact.

      FYI: 2000 was indeed a leap year. A rare one at that. 3 out of 4 century years (all evenly divisible by 4) are not leap years, by Gregorian rules.

          It was a nice try though. I already know you're much more intellegant than I. Surely wouldn't doubt you on social media. Perhaps a lecture I'd consider it.

          I’m related to your tweet but a question I have for you to ponder. Is the energy released by all the stars in a galaxy enough to curve space time, giving enough gravity to make up for the missing mass? Could that mean the dark matter in not needed?

          You're not playing by Internet rules. You're supposed to double down on your original statement, and the express outrage that someone would dare question, let alone correct you.
