It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

When a non-Human species gives an amount of time, such as 5 centuries, how is that measured? Is the thinking that they are converting over to something the Federation would use, or is that a local time, or is it considered that all life bearing planets have roughly the same time scale in tearms of years??
