Toward the end of last month, there was some discussion of stardates.
I believe that the stardates correspond to  galactic  time  from  the
center of the Milky Way and the position of the big  E  at  the  time
Kirk starts his logs.  I would tend  to  agree  that  there  is  some
continuity problems with the time line though.  However,  one  person
indicated that a vessel couldn't possibly be that busy.   Well, I say
that in a galaxy as big as ours,  the  big  E  could  be  quite  busy
exploring the galaxy.  Stardates do not  correspond  to  the  way  we
measure time on Earth  (as far as I can tell).   I  remember  reading
somewhere how stardates are calculated, but do not know where I  read
it.
