Stardates Explained - 20011116.1008

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 20011116.1008

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

2001 11 16 . 10 08

That better?

20011116 means 16th November 2001, and 1008 is in 24-hour clock format, IE 10:08AM

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