These are dates that point to something in time.
I think it is this episode where they implant a program in Data's "subconscious" to give them clues at another time.
I am growing increasingly convinced that my memories of the past are false. Some things are just too coincidental.

RIKER: You!
CLEMENS: Where are we? And when?
RIKER: This is the twenty fourth century, we're on Devidia Two, and you're not supposed to be here.
CLEMENS: Well it seems to me I have as much right to be in your time as you had to be in mine. I wanted to see how you've conducted my future affairs.
TROI: Your future affairs?
CLEMENS: The affairs of mankind.
RIKER: But the disappearance of Mark Twain, one of the most noted literary figures of the nineteenth century
CLEMENS: Thank you.
RIKER: That's not supposed to happen.
CLEMENS: I only took advantage of an irresistible opportunity, as any good writer would.

LAFORGE: If we tune a phaser to the approximate frequency of triolic waves and lay down a field burst, it might respond.
(the phaser shot turns the cane head into a writhing snake's head)
TROI: The ophidian the aliens were carrying.
(it sends off energy charges before reverting to the cane)
RIKER: What the?
LAFORGE: These look like minute distortions in the space-time continuum, like the one we saw on Devidia Two.
RIKER: They were so small, and they lasted only a second.
DATA: The aliens appear to be able to concentrate the distortion and direct it to a specific time and place.
CRUSHER: Maybe they have something, a mechanism that focuses it.
LAFORGE: Any device like that would produce significant levels of triolic waves. Like the ones in the cavern where Data's head was found.
DATA: I have located that cavern.
(knocking on the door and frantic activity)
CARMICHAEL [OC]: Mister Pikerd! I know you're in there. Open the door!
TROI: Mrs. Carmichael.
DATA: How now, spirit. Whither wander you?
CRUSHER: Over hill, over dale, thorough bush, thorough brier,
TROI: Mrs. Carmichael, thank goodness you're here.
PICARD: We need someone to read a part. You're just in time.
CARMICHAEL: Mister Picard, I need to be talking to you.
CRUSHER: My mistress would that he be gone.
RIKER: Ill met by moonlight, proud Titania.
PICARD: Now, Mrs. Carmichael Right there.
RIKER: Ill met by moonlight, proud Titania.
CARMICHAEL: What, jealous Oberon. Fairies skip hence. I have foresworn his bed and company.
PICARD: Well, I don't think I need to hear any more. That was truly unique.
CARMICHAEL: Really?
PICARD: Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have found our Titania. Don't you agree?
(a round of applause)
CARMICHAEL: Well, I did do a church play when I was a lass.
PICARD: Well, there you are. We start rehearsals tomorrow.

Centenary celebrations for Proxima Centauri
By Daphney Molewa, SAASTA
The year 2015 marked the centenary of the discovery in Johannesburg of the star closest to the sun, Proxima Centauri, and South African Agency for Science and Technology Advancement (SAASTA) leveraged the occasion to advance science awareness.
SAASTA rolled out a string of activities across the country to mark this milestone in South African astronomy. These culminated in a national event where Ian Glass, who specialises in astronomical history and who is an expert in the infrared radiation from celestial objects, was one of the key speakers.
The exact date of the discovery is not known, but the evidence suggests that it was just before 05 October 1915. It was established that Innes sent the paper to announce his discovery to the printers on that date. The paper is entitled “A faint star of large proper motion” and dated 12 October 1915.

This date in science: Discovery of Proxima Centauri
Happy anniversary, Proxima Centauri! Today is the 100th anniversary of the announcement that this star is next-nearest to our sun.
October 12, 1915. One hundred years ago today, the Scottish-born astronomer Robert Innes, at the Union Observatory in Johannesburg, South Africa announced the discovery of what we now know as the next-nearest star to our sun. That star is Proxima Centauri, one of three known stars in the Alpha Centauri system, with the other two stars being Alpha Centauri A and B. He announced his discovery in a paper dated October 12, 1915 titled A Faint Star of Large Proper Motion.
Prior to this announcement, astronomers believed that Alpha Centauri was the closest star to our solar system.
But Proxima – a relatively small red dwarf star – is closer at about 4.24 light-years away.
SAASTA – the South African Agency for Science and Technology Advancement – is celebrating Proxima’s centenary this year. At its website, SAASTA explained:
Although Alpha had been thoroughly observed by Innes, with his vast experience and passion for observing double stars he suspected that Alpha Centauri might have a companion. While comparing photographic plates that were taken five years apart … Innes observed that a certain faint star had moved. He found that this movement was about the same as that of Alpha Centauri.
After further investigation, he concluded that it was closer to the sun than Alpha. In 1917 he proposed the new star should be called Proxima Centauri, proxima being the Latin word for ‘nearest.’
Today, Proxima remains widely accepted as the closest star to Earth, but it’s still not known for certain whether Proxima is part of the Alpha Centauri system.

Centenary of discovery of Proxima Centauri’s…proximity
Published by Andrew Jacob on October 12, 2015
What is the closest star, in the night-time sky, to Earth?
Almost everyone answers Alpha Centauri, the brighter of the pair of Pointer stars. But Alpha Centauri is in fact a system of three stars. Two orbit close together and their combined light is what our naked-eye sees as the brighter of the Pointer stars, and what most of us would call Alpha Centauri.
The third star of the system is too faint to see without a large telescope but it is the closest of the three. We call this star Proxima Centauri.
How do we know Proxima Centauri is the closest? We could measure its distance via the parallax method. Or we could measure how fast it is moving across the sky – its proper motion – and infer that it is the closest because it has the greatest proper motion.
On October 12, 1915 astronomer Robert T. A. Innes, working in South Africa, placed two glass plate negatives of the sky into a blink comparator. This device allowed him to rapidly flip between viewing one plate then the other. He noticed one faint star jumped back and forth as he blinked the plates – it had moved in the five years separating the exposure of the plates. His measurements showed its proper motion and the direction it was heading were very similar to those of the star-pair we call Alpha Centauri. It was almost certainly part of that star system and therefore nearby. Later parallax measurements, by Innes and others, proved it was the closest known star at a distance of 4.22 light years.

CLEMENS: Well, that's the problem I see here. All this technology it only serves to take away life's simple pleasures. You don't even let a man open the door for a lady.
TROI: I think what we've gained far outweighs anything that might have been lost.
CLEMENS: Oh? Well, I'm not so impressed with this future. Huge starships, and weapons that can no doubt destroy entire cities, and military conquest as a way of life?
TROI: Is that what you see here?
CLEMENS: Well, I know what you say, that this is a vessel of exploration and that your mission is to discover new worlds.
(a Bolian comes out of the turbolift as they get in)
[Turbolift]
CLEMENS: That's what the Spanish said.
TROI: Deck thirty six.
CLEMENS: And the Dutch and the Portuguese. It's what all conquerors say. I'm sure that's what you told that blue-skinned fellow I just saw, before you brought him here to serve you.
