Astronomical events

All these dates are in a uniform time scale such as Terrestrial Time. When converted to our ordinary solar time or Universal Time, which is decidedly non-uniform, via ΔT, the dates would be a couple of days earlier. Furthermore, they are only astronomical dates, so they are given in the astronomical format of Year Month Day, which allows them to be ordered.

Fictional Events

★ In the Zager and Evans song, ''In the Year 2525'' — "In the year 9595. I'm kinda wondering if man's gonna be alive. He's taken everything this old earth can give. And he ain't put back nothing..."

Popular culture

In the program Aqua Teen Hunger Force, the robotic turkey known as Turkitron is expected to be sent from the year 9595 into the past (sometime around the early-to-mid 21st century) to bring home the great, great, great, great grandfather of the leader of the turkeys, known as Goblox to defeat the Master Chicken Race.
In this year, a race of deformed turkey will be genetically developed by chicken scientists as revenge against his bird brother. These turkeys will be craved by the French, and as a result turkey will become the only food source for France (RoboFrance29). Upon appearing at the Aqua Teen's house, it was found out that Goblox was dead and about to be eaten for Thanksgiving.
