Think we'd ever use anything similar to the Stardate system in the future?  |
|
 I was just wondering.

| musicxrules (36) | 3 months ago | Yeah, I never want to try, either. I read a little bit about it, though, and the decimal number represented the time. That seems like a nice way to keep things short and simple. | |

2.  merlinsorca (473) | 3 months ago |  Maybe only when we're in space. In space we use starships and a "stardate" system would be appropriate to use. I'm sure that our dates in the future will be full of numbers.

| musicxrules (36) | 3 months ago | Yes, that's true...but stardates were created especially because when traveling in space, if you spend one hour on one planet, that may equal to 2 hours on earth. | |

| musicxrules (36) | 3 months ago | I'm sure if we actually use a similar system, they'll explain how it works. Right now, I'm not too sure about how it works, but I know that the decimal number represents the time of the day.:) | |

| ShepherdSpy (2464) | 3 months ago |  The series brought in the stardate idea so as not to "date" the airing of the show..for a long time,it wasn't even mentioned in the show which future century it was set in! In theory,if you could travel at the speed of light,(Warp factor 1 in star trek) time passes more slowly,so that if you were gone from Earth 2 weeks on a warp 1 trip,MORE time than a Month would have passed on Earth by the time You got back..the Stardate was the show's explanation of how they were able to make a time reference that would be relevant wherever and however fast you travelled..

| 4. stvasile (5333) | 3 months ago |  I think the star date is a convention, just like any other time measuring system.
Other SF novels/movies have their own dating, usually based on extremely important events, involving large masses of people. Like in Asimov's Foundation where they use the establishment of the Foundation as a relative zero and measure the following years as "Foundation Age" years.

| 5. savak03 (2170) | 3 months ago |  I tried to use a stardate system for my journal one year but since I don't really understand how the numbers would translate into our own dating system it didn't work out all that well. If someone could it explain it to me fully I might try it again.
