What if the Star Trek universe knew about our timeline?

Would they try to figure out who was giving Gene Rodddenberry the information on the future or would the “cultural contamination” of the Star Trek franchise be too imbedded for the Department of Temporal affairs to remove?

They are both utterly ingenious. The second one was published in Star Trek: The New Voyages from Bantam.
 
What would they call our timeline?
Paramount timeline?

The Gray Universe.

The place for instant doom-and-gloom.

That's what I call it when I compare The Star Trek Universe with the one I'm currently living in.

I wonder what alien species from the Star Trek universe would be up to in this timeline?(this is all hypothetical of course)
 
Star Trek IV, Assignment Earth, and Tomorrow is Yesterday are the only times TOS openly recognized our timeline as being directly and unequivocally part of its? (Save for the occasional year flinging that no longer adds up, such as Khan's 200/300 years and 1990s and all that, or counting Trelane's years (which otherwise lead to a temporal anachronism as well)... but season 1 hadn't really pegged what century they were from just as boldly as early season 1 pretended they hadn't any shuttles to get around plot points such as in "The Enemy Within"... :D

Oh Visit to a Weird Planet is online now! Cool! I saw "Revisited" in The New Voyages but never saw the whole Visit until now!
