The 3012 phenomenon is a prediction that the world will end in 3012 made by an ancient prophecy (7ACV02).[1] In this year, Bender became the star of a hit TV show on which he terrified the public with the phenomenon (US#060).
A calendar in possession of Planet Express predicted fires, earthquakes and sharksplosions, followed by the end of the world. A weather balloon had foretold these disasters; it also detected the onset of a catastrophic sunspot cycle. In 3012, the cycle began its effect on Earth, leaving New New York in chaos.[2]
