Stardates Explained - 20010131.1049

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 20010131.1049

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

2001 01 31 . 10 49

That better?

20010131 means 31st January 2001, and 1049 is in 24-hour clock format, IE 10:49AM

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