Does anyone know what the current year is in Star Trek? It has to be 2378, because the crew keep on mentioning their meeting for the first time in 2371. But, didn't "Unimatrix Zero" take place in late 2376?

Every season of "Voyager" corresponds to the year 237#, where '#' is the season number.

Perhaps late 2360's, maybe 2270. Current is mostl likely to be 2377 maybe early 2378.
Its been 14 years since the first season of TNG so if we can get an acurrate date for the first season of TNG. Also everyone thinks that Voyager was lost after the last episode of TNG, but why can't we think that Voyager was lost during TNG? Is there any cannon evidence aside from books that doesn't support this?

Changing penent and com. badges don't mean anything. It could have been before TNG ended, its not like one day everyone decided to change the whole look of Starfleet. Such as at 1243 hours suddenyl everyone switched uniforms and com. badges. No, it is a subtle thing when ships come into spacedock when the news is finally brought to a planet based base. Stardates don;t mean anything either. In the first season of TNG we had Yar die and then come back to life to wave everyone good bye then disappeara according to stardates.
If stardates were linear yes, but sometimes they're not.

Bad stardates could be attributed to misstatements by the characters saying them. The current stardate system is meant to correspond to years. Remove the last three digits of the non-fractional part of the stardate and add what's left to 2323, and you have the year.
'Course, this is canonically contradicted in "Data's Day", but what I've described is apparently how they're intending it to be.

Well, the "Data's Day" thing can be very easily explained away by saying Data was referring to an earlier milestone date in the development of the Enterprise than the actual day of pomp and circumstance and champagne-bottle breaking referred to on the commisioning plaque. Like the first time it left spacedock, or the first time every single system was brought online at once. Didn't he use the term "operational days" or somesuch?
And I think a good rule of thumb is that Data doesn't make misstatements.

I wonder if the stardates actually have any relevence on the stars. In Trekdom, Starfleet wouldn't call it stardates for nothing. Perhaps its related to the "Time Barrier" in some way. Lets say that with out breaking the Time Barrier, time speeds up considerably and then slows down. The E=MC2 thingy. I'm just wondering if those would be related somehow. Different time zones in the galaxy if you will.
Just wondering that's all.

SPOILERS BELOW: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . According to tonight's episode "Homestead", the exact date of the episode is April 5th, 2378. We know this because Neelix is having his "First Contact Day", and says it's the 315th anniversary of the April 5th, 2063 First Contact.
