Stardates Explained - 20160525.1253

You don't understand the startdates?

Take, for example, 20160525.1253

Let me stick some spaces in some helpful places:

2016 05 25 . 12 53

That better?

20160525 means 25th May 2016, and 1253 is in 24-hour clock format, IE 12:53PM

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