It could be in the far-flung future of "Firefly". Maybe that Firefly -class we see in the Miniseries was an antique that someone was flyin' around. Or it might allow for the theory of parallel development - or whatever that theory is called where two completely different civilizations achieve a lot of the exact same technological advancements at the same time.

Gosh, that's a rather out-there theory, Jeffrey. Do you think it could stretch to explaining why they have Humvees and Uzis as well? --------------------Never mind the Phlox - Here's the Phase Pistols

No, but I have a theory about why you're such an attention whore....

Hodgkin's Law of Parallel Development. Which they completely forgot about in TOS "Miri." Maybe Hodgkin didn't develop the law until after that episode.

On the other hand, no one seemed all that surprised by the discovery, if I recall correctly.

In "Miri"? No, they were all aghast at the duplicate Earth. Kirk called it "astonishing" and "impossible" in his opening log. -------------------- The flaws we find most objectionable in others are often those we recognize in ourselves.

perhaps the "law" had only been a theory up until that point.
