[[Science fiction]] and other related fields of [[fiction]] are often set in the future, or at least involve events in times that have not yet occurred. This list is a chronological collection of significant events from various works of such fiction. It includes some events that were set in the future when the fiction containing them was first written but which have now been overtaken by real [[history]], becoming a form of [[alternate history (fiction)|alternate history]] or [[failed prediction]] in the pr(contracted; show full)
*The [[Legion of Super-Heroes|Legion of Super-Heroes']] enemy, the [[Time Trapper]], lives at the end of time.
* [[Dagor Dagorath]]: [[Morgoth]] once again tries to invade [[Arda]], and the [[Vala (Middle-earth)|Valar]] engage in a massive battle with him. [[Túrin Turambar]] kills Morgoth, and [[Ilúvatar]] remakes the world. ([[J.R.R. Tolkien]]'s [[Middle-earth]] legendarium.
)
* In the [[Marathon (computer game)|Marathon]] series, the [[artificial intelligence|AI]] Durandal estimates the end of the universe (a [[big crunch]]) will occur in the year 1.52E10.
*[[Death (DC Comics)|Death]] has the role of putting everything in order and closing up the universe. (''[[The Sandman (DC Comics Modern Age)|The Sandman]]'')

==Beyond the end of time==
*Climax of [[Isaac Asimov]]'s story [[The Last Question]]. The end of time itself is said to be ten trillion years in the future, and the climax of the story occurs even later, after a "timeless interval".

==Notes==
<sup>1</sup>Perhaps conscious of the slow development of Earth's space programme, several different dates have been given in ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' for the time from which Lister and Rimmer originate. In the early television series the dates [[2044]] and [[2077]] are both given. The first novel, published after the second season was transmitted, gives dates in the [[22nd century]]. In the fourth season [[Red Dwarf characters#David Lister|Dave Lister]] states he is "an enlightened [[23rd century]] guy."
