@neiltyson Perhaps celebrated isn't the correct word here, Mr. Tyson.

@neiltyson That'd mean we'd likely have 2 fingers. No opposable thumbs. No way to pull a trigger. Nothing to "celebrate."Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson "anniversary" implies "annual" which implies trips around the sun. Our base counting system wouldn't change our solar lap speed. - 1 more reply

@neiltyson Really Neil? A year is a year is a year... i.e. One orbit of the Earth around the sun. There have only been 50 of those...#JFK50 -
@RobinEdgar 100,000 is 32 notated in base 2, i.e. 1x32 + 0x16 + 0x8 + 0x4 + 0x2 + 0x1 . -
@featherglider I can see that. http://www.unitconversion.org/numbers/base-10-to-binary-conversion.html … OTOH Tyson is mixing apples with oranges by speaking of 18 years. It would be 10010... -
@RobinEdgar ..when in fact the “roundness” of a number is in a sense arbitrary, as it relies on the number notation system we use. -
@featherglider I get that, funny how a "round number" can be notated by a right angle in Roman Numerals. . . ;-) 50 = L in#RomanNumerals
