Aside from adding 100B to the current year, what sort of answer are you expecting?

Maybe I had to use the term ‘Earth cycle’ instead of theory. Instead of just adding numbers. For example we see CE ( Current Era ) etc.

What do you mean by in theory? Years are just numbers, so add 100 billion to the current year (2022) and that's the answer.

That's not any sort of cycle or anything. CE or common era is the modern way of saying AD, which stands for Anno Domini, which is Latin for the year of our Lord. The year zero used to be defined as the year Jesus was supposedly born, and CE is just a way to keep using this date system without tying it to a specific religion. We won't be adding new or different letters or anything.

That is the reason I said ‘example’

But there isn't any sort of cycle or anything, that's the point. A year is just a number, every year it goes up by one. So in 100 billion years it'll be the current year plus 100 billion. There's nothing special going on with how time flows or anything.

Calendars are made-up systems for counting time, so there's really no way of predicting that.

If we stick with the calendar we have, then the year would be 100000002022.

But the Earth and the Sun would be long-since dead by then.

Yep. The sun will consume all the planets becoming a red giant. But if we want to depict in a 3rd dimension is what I’m trying to decipher.

"What does "depict in a 3rd dimension" mean? I don't understand the question.

BTW, the sun won't consume all of the planets. Just Mercury, Venus, and maybe Earth.
