[edit] Predictions

  • World coal supply presumed to peak.
  • Robotics experts predict that around this time most work in advanced industrial nations will be done by Robots (news reports, December 2006).

[edit] Fictional events

  • Contrary to some pre-release speculations, the 2004 film 2046 does not entirely take place in this year. Rather, 2046 in the film is the concept of a year when time travel has been discovered and to which no one returns after they have left it. A science fiction subplot set in that year does form part of the narrative.
  • According to Strong Bad, on March 31, 2046, at exactly 2:03 PM, the zombie uprising will begin, in which he will be reanimated to fight on the zombie's side.
  • The film Doom, based on the video game series of the same name, takes place in this year.
  • The Epilogue of the Jordan Chandler novel A Decibel Eight takes place this year
