"eternity

\E*ter"ni*ty\, n.; pl. Eternities. [F. ['e]ternit['e], L. aeternitas, fr. aeternus. See Etern.] 1. Infinite duration, without beginning in the past or end in the future; also, duration without end in the future; endless time."

Can you spot the difference in those two definitions, though, Kahl?

Infinity can have a beginning; eternity does not.
