This date is not infinite, or you'd still be typing.
What do you mean?

Which planet is going to explode?
In which nebula is this planet exploding?
When did the B.C. actually start for the A.D. to end?

I am lumping your questions into one concept.
My thought is that it should start around the beginning of when humans started measuring time, but that number would probably be too long, like yours is.
We would need a major earth changing event to change it.

Why is the year infinite in the date?
A year is not infinite. It is an arbitrary amount of time constructed by
the human species to denote how long it takes the earth to go around
the damn sun
This will or will not continue in year for how long?
This WILL continue for about 365.25 days
What are the viewers thoughts of a infinite year?
No such thing, not even in the abstract, where all motion in
the cosmos ceases, then time would cease. Time as we know it
is predicated on motion....no motion...no time.
Could you just get to the point?
Do you have a disagreement with the way time is estimated.
Because we humans are just winging it, doing the best we can.
If you have a better idea, let's hear it.
