Basic Examples  (2)

Represent the infinite future:

Wolfram Language code: InfiniteFuture

Use InfiniteFuture as an ending date for a DateInterval object:

Wolfram Language code: DateInterval[{Tomorrow, InfiniteFuture}]

Scope  (2)

DateList, AbsoluteTime and DateObject all accept infinite future specifications:

Wolfram Language code: DateList[InfiniteFuture]
Wolfram Language code: AbsoluteTime[InfiniteFuture]
Wolfram Language code: DateObject[InfiniteFuture]

DateInterval may use InfiniteFuture as an ending value for a time period:

Wolfram Language code: DateInterval[{Today, InfiniteFuture}]

All dates prior to the end date will be contained in the interval:

Wolfram Language code: DateWithinQ[%, Today + Quantity[100000, "Years"]]

Properties & Relations  (1)

Imposing "Eternity" granularity on a date in or after year 1 CE converts it into InfiniteFuture:

Wolfram Language code: DateObject[{2100, 1, 1}]
Wolfram Language code: DateObject[%, "Eternity"]
