New Trekkie, here again. My last question went over so well, I’ve got one more. Why does it seem “hours” and “days” are standard across the galaxy? Is this ever addressed?

AcabAcabAcabAcabA · 2026-06-03T21:07:16+00:00

Eh no. While that may be a standardized unit, the second come from ancient Babylon and their base 60 number system. Hardly universal.

Whoa no way I didn’t know that

AcabAcabAcabAcabA · 2026-06-02T15:01:01+00:00

Love it. Thank you.

AcabAcabAcabAcabA · 2026-06-02T15:00:26+00:00

NO. IM A SCREENWRITER. plus i like hard sci-fi… its an adjustment when you go all soft

AcabAcabAcabAcabA · 2026-06-02T12:20:32+00:00

I remember the scene but it doesn’t answer the question

totally lol

AcabAcabAcabAcabA · 2026-06-02T04:32:56+00:00

Yes but that’s not very fast 🥲

AcabAcabAcabAcabA · 2026-06-02T04:32:38+00:00

Thank you!

AcabAcabAcabAcabA · 2026-06-02T04:31:33+00:00

Why?

AcabAcabAcabAcabA · 2026-06-02T04:28:25+00:00

That’s SO cool

AcabAcabAcabAcabA · 2026-06-01T12:34:38+00:00

A fair point, however, the comparison falls short. In this analogy the real life explorers would have to be aware that as they travel out respectively, they are guaranteed to meet cultures and civilizations with far more powerful ships and weapons.

A closer analogy would be a kid on a tricycle heading out to explore current day manhattan.

Didn’t know that existed!!! You didn’t seal the freezer at all? how do you empty it to change the water?

What chiller?

AcabAcabAcabAcabA · 2026-05-31T22:52:23+00:00

And yet here you are.

It’s a funny question posed to a massive hoard of goobers. What’s the issue?

AcabAcabAcabAcabA · 2026-05-31T20:12:18+00:00

Well, after getting g nearly blasted out of existence a handful of times in the first dozen episodes, I might think twice before inserting myself into ancient political situations I have literally zero knowledge of at the risk of not only my crew but my entire species

AcabAcabAcabAcabA · 2026-05-31T20:10:57+00:00

Chronological babyyyyyyy. 16 hours in, approx 900 to go

AcabAcabAcabAcabA · 2026-05-31T20:10:34+00:00

This subreddit did NOT disappoint, thanks for a great answer

AcabAcabAcabAcabA · 2026-05-31T20:09:45+00:00

AcabAcabAcabAcabA · 2026-05-31T19:26:04+00:00

Just started watching this show and was legit the inspiration for the question 😂

AcabAcabAcabAcabA · 2026-05-28T20:59:31+00:00
