| Oct 11, 2017 at 20:53 | comment | added | ThePopMachine | I'm inclined to believe that the mere reference to Elon Musk suffices. However since we don't positively know that it dates to more recently than the existing answers, it doesn't supersede them. | |
| Oct 11, 2017 at 18:10 | comment | added | nmclean | The answer to this may have just changed with this week's episode of Star Trek Discovery. There is a reference to "Wright Brothers, Elon Musk, Zefram Cochrane" and the context is clearly breakthroughs in flight (implying it refers to recent SpaceX developments). However in the Star Trek universe, Elon must have succeeded at least a couple decades earlier than in our universe, because they had interplanetary ships in the late 1990s. Until proven otherwise I will now assume SpaceX built the DY series. | |

| Oct 15, 2016 at 0:51 | comment | added | Beta | @Monso: The contradictions could be resolved if Star Trek ever mentioned that the Wiles proof contained a subtle flaw. | |
| Oct 14, 2016 at 17:42 | comment | added | Monso | @Damon, that would be a contradiction to a historical event. My curiosity made me research it though and Deep Space Nine references the proof of it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat%27s_Last_Theorem_in_fiction | |
| Oct 14, 2016 at 16:50 | comment | added | Damon | Since in my world, Star Trek doesn't include the ENT-confused-timetravel-stuff which gives me the creeps, or the new reboot-universe movies (although Cumberbatch did an awesome Khan, I'll admit!)... I'll throw in Fermat's theorem. Picard said it remained unsolved (which was true until 1994). | |

| Oct 14, 2016 at 2:19 | comment | added | Stephen | Khan's 20th century history was actually covered in the novels. He was actually a part of our timeline but his creation and the creation of the SS Botany Bay was a part of some black projects that were not made common knowledge until later in history. | |
| Oct 13, 2016 at 20:22 | comment | added | ThePopMachine | @Monso: That is a great point conceptually! But probably can't accept it because of the homage aspect. | |

I think that "most recent" is clearer than "latest"

| Oct 13, 2016 at 18:14 | comment | added | Monso | More of an homage, but Spock (Leonard Nimoy version) passing. | |

| Oct 13, 2016 at 15:22 | comment | added | ThePopMachine | Weak similarity: scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/80025/… American flag had 50 stars until 2033, which I guess weakly could be used to argue that the American flag is common right up to the present day (for now). | |
