The explanation that I have always heard from Roddenberry has been that stardates take your location in the galaxy into account, and there are also supposed to be corrections for relativistic effects. Why are people asking questions that have been answered in "The Making of Star Trek." Can you really call yourselves Trek fans if you haven't read this? All the other ST information books ("The World of ST", "The Star Fleet Technical Manual", etc.) are useful, too, but "The Making" is the bible. -- Barry Margolin ARPA: barmar@MIT-Multics UUCP: ..!genrad!mit-eddie!barmar
