Stardates Explained - 20010220.1338

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 20010220.1338

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

2001 02 20 . 13 38

That better?

20010220 means 20th February 2001, and 1338 is in 24-hour clock format, IE 1:38PM

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