-Animax

Let's just say that one of the most rewarding things to do is to succeed in finding the name of a very nice song of which you originally did not know the name of. Caught this commercial on Animax yesterday and the music fits the video like a boss. The music is so ultimately epic and after almost 24hr of searching (sleep included), MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

This was the commercial! EPIC to the MAX!

At first, thought the music was from a Hollywood production house (i.e. Immediate Music/Audiomachine etc.) but that would mean searching through hundreds of songs!

But few hrs ago, thanks to Youtube, managed to find this commercial! Someone uploaded the commercial in FULL! Helpful comments is helpful.

It is almost unbelievable, that this type of epic instrumental music could have originated from a K-pop piece :O

would never have guessed it. Once again, THANKS YOUTUBE!

The full song is here! EPIC WIN! SONG SEARCH MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

I don't listen to much K-pop but this one is nice! 

btw, USEFUL TIP here! If you need to find a song for which you know the tune of, but not the name, do a reverse search on http://www.midomi.com/. Free tip. You're welcome! XD

Do you like this commercial too!?!? Comment below!

Do you believe in Forever?

This question was asked on my Formspring by Shine, and coincidentally I read an article earlier on the concept of Time which was very related to this question. My reply as follows:



Metaphysically speaking, in my view there is "Forever". The general view of "time" is as if it were a travelling arrow moving towards infinity. In other words, time ticks along in a fixed manner like the periodic clicks on a metronome. In this case "forever" is possible as time moves towards infinity. This was the view of Newton and his Newtonian Mechanics. Einstein's relativity frames time together with space, as an endless four-dimensional fabric, suggesting too that "time" is "forever".



What if there is no such thing as "time"? The works of Barbour take Einstein's relativity to a whole new level, being essentially a theory of pure relativity. This was what I read this morning. According to Barbour, a "Theory of Everything" is possible without the variable of "time" in a purely relativistic theorem, based on the idea of Mach's Principle. (but this is another issue).

The point is, even with the absence of "time", "forever" is also possible, following the absence of the limit that the contraints of time imposes.

Alright! Conclusion: Forever is Possible.

Do you believe in Forever? Comments appreciated! Thanks!
