I was just thinking.. in Star Trek, why do they always quote or refer to 17th, 18th, 19th century people, advancements, etc? Aside from the guy who founded the warp engine, didn't ANYTHING else significant happen after the 21st century? They could make up events and quote them, but they seem to always refer to the 17th-19th centuries for these great and profound things.
