Sure, physicists can just keep track of about 5% of the universe's mass. That's their whole job, and they just got 5%!? Are they stupid??

Who are you to complain Brenda?! The only thing you keep track of is the amount of Oreos you have in the pantry

5% of the universe is still several trillions of tons of mass! Although I suppose a good part of that is your fat ass!

Several trillion tons of mass? I think you're off by many orders of magnitude.

You're right.

Earth itself weighs about 7 sextillion tons.

Sextillion in the short scale being to the 24th power while trillions being only 12th power.

Thanks for the correction. I was blinded by my hatred for Brenda. I was sure I was off by a lot but I couldn't bother looking it up at the time
