Talk:eternity

Usage question
Evidence seems to indicate that time in our universe had a beginning point, that time commenced at the Big Bang. Since time does not appear to go infinitely backward, but only back as far as 13.82 billion years, it is conjecturally possible that time is either a ray (having a beginning point but no end point, extending infinitely into the future) or a line segment (having both a beginning and an end point).

If time has an end point, and thus does not extend infinitely forward into the future, can one (ignoring the metaphysical and philosophical uses of the term) formally use the phrase for all eternity with the specific meaning of 'from the beginning of time until the end of time,' or would that usage be ipso facto informal ?
