Predictions For The 22nd Second Century Nearly 90 Years From Now by Nobody: 11:18am On May 18, 2016
An early example of the use of a time capsule was the Detroit Century Box. The brainchild of Detroit mayor William C. Maybury, it was created on December 31, 1900, and scheduled to be opened 100 years later. It was filled with photographs and letters from 56 prominent residents describing life in 1900 and making predictions for the future, and included a letter by Maybury addressed to the mayor of Detroit in 2000. The capsule was opened by city officials on December 31, 2000, in a ceremony presided over by mayor Dennis Archer.[3][4]

Technological predictions

Work on cleaning up the site of the Oldbury Nuclear Power Station near Thornbury, South Gloucestershire, England, which was decommissioned on 29 February 2012, is scheduled to be complete between 2092 and 2101.[1]
According to the Discovery Channel documentary, Extreme Engineering, the Japanese proposed Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid could be complete by 2110.[2][3]
The One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence (AI100) initiated by Stanford University will be concluded in 2115.[4][5][6]
2162 or later: The satellite Envisat, declared "dead" in 2012, is expected to deorbit and burn up in the atmosphere no earlier than 2162.[7]
By 2200, it is predicted that Earth will become a Type I civilization on the Kardashev scale, according to Nikolai Kardashev's extrapolation of 1% energy usage growth per year.[8]

Social predictions

2160 – Some scientists believe there are people born in 2010 who may still be alive in 2160.[9]
According to the UN Population Bureau, life expectancy in 2200 will be around 100 for developed countries and the world population will be about 11 billion. However, the UN has warned that these projections could be invalidated by any change and progress in future life extension technology and discoveries, as well as changes in future birthrates.[10]

Biological predictions

By 2100, 12% (about 1250) of the bird species existing at the beginning of the twenty-first century are expected to be extinct or threatened with extinction.[11]
By 2100, emperor penguins could be pushed to the brink of extinction due to global climate change, according to a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution study from January 2009. The study applied mathematical models to predict how the loss of sea ice from climate warming would affect an Antarctica colony of emperor penguins, they forecast a decline of 50% by the end of the century.[12]

Calendric predictions

On March 14, 2100 (which will be February 29, 2100 in the Julian calendar), the difference between the Julian calendar and the Gregorian calendar reaches 14 days. Since 14 is divisible by 7, this will be the first time in history since its inception that the Gregorian calendar will have the same day of the week for each day of the month for the whole year as the Julian calendar. This will last until February 28, 2200 of the Gregorian Calendar.
2100 will not be a leap year since it qualifies as a year that is divisible by 100, but not by 400.
FAT file systems theoretically support dates up to December 31, 2107 (though officially only up to December 31, 2099).
The Year type in MySQL supports dates up to December 31, 2155.
March 17, 2160 – Unless changes are made as to when Easter can be observed, this particular March 17 will fall within Holy Week for the first time since 2008 and fall on the same day (Monday) as it did in that year, likely requiring the movement of the Feast of Saint Patrick's Day to another date.[13]


Astronomical predictions
Solar eclipses

December 8, 2113 : Annular solar eclipse,[16] (9 min 35 s), Solar Saros 134.
June 3, 2114 : Total solar eclipse[17] of 6 min 32 s, Solar Saros 139.
December 19, 2131 : Annular solar eclipse,[18] (10 min 14 s), saros 134.
June 13, 2132 : Total solar eclipse[19] of 6 min 55 s, saros 139.
December 30, 2149 : Annular solar eclipse,[20] (10 min 42 s), saros 134.
June 25, 2150: Solar eclipse[21] of 7 min 14 s, Solar Saros 139.
Exceeding 7 minutes of totality, this will be the first time this has happened in 177 years; the last one occurred on June 30, 1973.[22] when the Concorde prototype followed the totality spot for 73 minutes.
January 10, 2168 : Annular solar eclipse,[23] (10 min 55 s), saros 134.
July 5, 2168 : Total solar eclipse[24] of 7 min 26 s, saros 139.
January 20, 2186 : Annular solar eclipse,[25] (10 min 53 s), saros 134.
Total solar eclipse of July 16, 2186[26] of 7 min 29 s (very close to the theoretical maximum), Saros 139, "crowning" this series.
This is predicted to be the longest eclipse during the current 10,000 year period, from 4000 BC to 6000 AD (eclipse predictions by Fred Espenak, NASA/GSFC.DEPP).[27]

Lunar eclipses
Main article: List of 22nd-century lunar eclipses

June 9, 2123: Long-duration lunar eclipse of approximately 106.1 minutes.[28]
June 19, 2141: Long-duration lunar eclipse of about 106.1 minutes. This lunar eclipse is in the same Saros series (132) as the long lunar eclipse in 2123, and has an almost identical duration.[29]
