We know this because early? Columbia University professor Alexander Hartdegen pushes his time machine into a faster speed the mechanical display reads "802701 Jul 16" so it is July of 802701 AD.
Additionally, there's a two-part prologue:
-The first part includes a conversation that ends "Mr. Einstein?" ?. and this section end with a relative time setting title card telling us it's "FOUR YEARS LATER" before the second part which occurs in 1903 AD. 1899 AD .
1903 - 4 = 1899.
-The second part is the moment from which Alexander leaves from for the first time ? and the VOX-114 artificial intelligence pins down his lifetime thus: "Alexander Hartdegen. 1869 to 1903." So it must 1903 AD when he leaves home and first time travels.
Then, in the middle of the movie "02030 May 24" so it is May of 2030 AD.
And just a few scenes afterward, "2037" so it is 2037 AD.
Finally, there is a very quick scene "635427810" so we know it is the far advanced year 635427810 AD.
