Is Star Trek 3000 years too advanced?

Star Trek takes place in the 2200’s and in the Star Trek Universe FTL (Faster than Light) speeds were developed in 2062. Star Trek in a Kardashev 2 type civilization. I personally think that light speed won’t be possible until atleast 2492. Mankind is predicted to become a Kardashev 2 Civilization in the year 5,200 which is about 3000 years after Star Trek takes place. Is Star Trek being unreasonable about their technological feats, so early on? It doesn’t seem possible for a civilization that has just discovered space travel to be able to travel Faster than the Speed of Light in only 54 years, or 2062. Star Trek should take place in the 5200’s not the 2200’s. Any comments or suggestions?

Answer #1

HELLO! Star Trek is NOT REAL. It was made up years and years ago. Why would the people who created it care if it actually happens in the 2200’s or the 5200’s?? Besides, they’re not even going to be alive (if they even still are) by then!

Answer #2

50 years ago the Ipod was inconceivable. . . Who knows what technology is around the corner. . .

Answer #3

Well even IF they are, they still wouldn’t have known whether it would happen or even be possible in that year when they created it. I’m not saying that this stuff isn’t possible, I’m just saying that the year is just a date they pulled out of their minds at the time.

Answer #4

The Kardashev Scale was invented in 1964 and Star Trek was made in 1966. They should have known.

Answer #5

Through Advancements in Technology and Medical care they might still be alive.

Answer #6

Too advance for today standards, but who knows what will happen in the future???
