Predicted and scheduled events
Date unknown
- Certain documents relating to Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon's wishes to preserve a monarchy if the Nazis occupied the UK are to be released from the Royal Archives.
- According to estimates released in October 2007, the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) space telescope, decommissioned that month, will continue orbiting the earth until it burns up in the atmosphere in this year, approximately 30 years after its decommissioning.
- The 2037 Bomber, an optionally manned, stealthy, hypersonic, heavy-bomber, is scheduled to enter service this year, as the USAF calculates that attrition will have reduced their existing strategic bomber fleet below the minimum 170 aircraft.
- The use of fossil fuels is hypothesized to become infrequent by this year in developed countries.[1][2] Alternative fuels (like wind and solar) will eventually relegate the use of fossil fuels to the Middle East and to developing countries.[1]
- The world's largest mud volcano, Lumpur Lapindo, in East Java, Indonesia, may stop erupting.[3]
- The Oxford English Dictionary is expected to publish its completed revised third edition.[4]
