In the second episode (
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow), of second season of the science fiction television series
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, set in the 23rd-century, the long-lived Lanthanite Pelia casually remarks that she hasn't taken a math class "...since Pythagoras made the crap up", implying that she was a contemporary.[5]
