infinite time

Forever and beyond

Infinite time is duration without end or beginning—time that extends forever.

The phrase appears in philosophical and scientific contexts when discussing eternity, the universe's lifespan, or thought experiments: Given infinite time, even the most improbable events become certain.

It often signals theoretical rather than practical reasoning, since human experience is bounded by finite lifespans.
