> Can someone tell me the formula for stardate?
  Star Trek Omnipedia explains that there are no official formula for
  star date. Roddenberry said that he invented stardates primaly as a means
  to remind us that the show was set in the future.
  Later however Roddenberry invented the explanation but he also admitted
  that he wasn't sure what that explanation meant.
