Re: Will people still be playing 2048 in 2048?

Oh, and one more mathematically significant year (with two "perfect" dates) will occur during the 82nd century as well. Namely, on June 6, 8128, and June 28, 8128, the month, day, and year numbers will all be perfect numbers for the first time since the year 496.

Will people still be playing 2048 in 2048?

Will people still be playing 2048 (the video game) in 2048 (the year)? It would sound amusing for someone to play a video game in the same year as the name of the video game itself 34 years after it was released. The previous power of 2, 1024 (exactly 1001 years ago), occurred during the High Middle...

Re: Lets say you were in 1925?

Life in 1925 was very different from life today in 2025. For example, Inauguration Day in the United States used to be on March 4 rather than January 20. For further comparison, one should also consider what life will be like in 2125 or 2225, as well as what life was like in 1825.

Re: Will people in 2100 actually care that it is not a leap year?

I wonder how likely people living today will still be alive in 2100 (and thus witness the first non-leap multiple-of-4 year since 1900) based on their age or birth year. Perhaps, one of them (or a person that has yet to be born) will be alive to ask the question "Why is 2100 not a leap year?&qu...

Re: Your 2025 Predictions

October 14, 2025 - Microsoft ends support for Windows 10. Unfortunately, older PCs that do not support TPM 2.0 cannot be upgraded to Windows 11, so many Windows 10 users would be forced to get a new PC or pay for "Extended Security Updates" like with Windows 7.

Will people in 2100 actually care that it is not a leap year?

In 2100, for the first time since 1900, a year divisible by 4 will not have 29 February in it, thanks to the "Gregorian century rule", which states that a year ending in "00" should only be a leap year if it is divisible by 400. But will people in 2100 actually care that it is no...

2140 and the "Perfect" simulations of one cubic metre prediction

The "Perfect" simulations of one cubic metre prediction was incorrectly placed under 2120 at https://www.futuretimeline.net/22ndcent ... 0-2149.htm, and there is no 2140 header.

Please correct this. The prediction intended for 2140 needs to go under its own header.

Re: Is it possible that once our current universe ends a new one could begin afterwards?

In theory, the answer is yes. Long after the beginning of the Dark Era, there could be a new inflationary period resulting in a new Big Bang in perhaps 10^10^10^56 years. And then, the resulting child universe would then go through its Primordial, Stelliferous, Degenerate, Black Hole, and Dark Eras,...
