- March 30: The Æon Society's Dr. Lauren M. Seyler issues a preliminary paper titled "Biological variations in humans demonstrating unique capabilities" about the recent eruption of people with strange powers.[24]
April[]
- April 2: The Æon Society offers their assistance to the United Nations to seek out and study the phenomenon of people with "aberrant powers." The term "nova" is adopted in response to the suggested taxonomy of Homo sapiens novus. The term "baseline" enters popular use not long after.[19]
May[]
- May 1: The Æon Society publicly invites open dialog with any interested novas to help study and understand their abilities. The often violent initial manifestation of powers leads to the adoption of the term "eruption."[19]

December[]
- December 4: Triton Foundation researchers Drs. Henri Mazarin and Farah Rashoud release their initial findings on novas, including detection of Mazarin-Rashoud flux detected in brain scans, M-R coils in cellular examinations. Their findings suggest novas manipulate the four fundamental quantum forces: gravity, electromagetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. The findings reinforce the use of "baseline" in the public dialog to refer to non-novas, and the association of the buzzword "quantum" with novas and their powers.[25]
- December 31: The Æon Society estimates there are 200 novas worldwide.[27][25]
