Depends on your definition of "easiest".

Much older than that. It is also a Fortran continuous loop
statement.

I'd prefer ...
while (!false) {
// do stuff...
}

Infinite loops have neither beginning nor end, as they're infinite, so
you can't create one.

Certainly an "infinite" loop never has an "end," since the number of
its iterations approaches infinity--until some outside force interrupts
it, in which case it's finite. Which makes the existence of an
infinite loop problematic, I'll go so far as to say there's never been
an infinite loop...
There's always that first iteration, though, so they do have a
"beginning."

No programming involved.

In mathematics, the open problems are infinitely more interesting. :-D
