  1. Midnight 12/31/2100

    There was no year 0

    therefore 100 years (century) ends new years eve in 00 years and begins anew 00:00:00 xx01


  2. 2100.

    Some people want to tell us a new century does not begin until the year 1 of that century. 1901, 2001, 1401. But the problem with that is the christian calendar, which is the calnder used in much of the world, marks time from or before Christ's birth. Meaning that 1BC was one year before the year of Christ's birth and 1AD was a year after. This effectively makes the year of Christ's birth year 0 in the first century AD and the last century BC. Thusly we count year 0 in each century as the start of the new century. So the year 100 marked the start of the second century while the year 2000 marked the start of the 21st century. The 22nd century begins 2100.

  3. The 22nd century will begin on January 1, 2101, and will  end at midnight December 31, 2200.  Any year ending in two zeroes is the 100th year of the old century, and any year ending in 01 is the first year of the new century.

  4. 2100

  5. 2101

  6. 3001

  7. Springsteen is right: 2101. The "first year" was not 0, it was 1, therefore, 2101 is correct. Give her the "prize" =)

  8. Since there was no year of '0' the first century was from year 1 to 100. The second century started with year 101. The 21st century ends with year 2100 and the 22nd starts with 2101.

  9. January 1st, 2101 at 0000.01 in thew morning.
