Stardates Explained - 20001205.1232

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 20001205.1232

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

2000 12 05 . 12 32

That better?

20001205 means 5th December 2000, and 1232 is in 24-hour clock format, IE 12:32PM

Stardates in the Star Trek universe work in an entirely different way. Wikipedia has a good explanation on how Stardates work.
