Infinity (symbol: ∞) is an abstract concept describing something without any bound and is relevant in a number of fields, predominantly mathematics and physics.
In mathematics, "infinity" is often treated as if it were a number (i.e., it counts or measures things: "an infinite number of terms") but it is not the same sort of number as natural or real numbers.
Georg Cantor formalized many ideas related to infinity and infinite sets during the late19th and early 20thcenturies. In the theory he developed, there are infinite sets of different sizes (called cardinalities). For example, the set of integers is countably infinite, while the infinite set of real numbers is uncountable.
History
Ancient cultures had various ideas about the nature of infinity. The ancient Indians and Greeks did not define infinity in precise formalism as does modern mathematics, and instead approached infinity as a philosophical concept.
Early Greek
The earliest recorded idea of infinity comes from Anaximander, a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher who lived in Miletus. He used the word apeiron which means infinite or limitless. However, the earliest attestable accounts of mathematical infinity come from Zeno of Elea (c.490BCE? – c.430BCE?), a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher of southern Italy and member of the Eleatic School founded by Parmenides. Aristotle called him the inventor of the dialectic. He is best known for his paradoxes, described by Bertrand Russell as "immeasurably subtle and profound".
Infinity is the debut studio album by Jewish hip hop band Shtar. Produced by then-drummer David Epstein, the album was originally released by the independent Shemesh Music label on May 2, 2010. After the band was signed to the larger indie label Shemspeed a year later, it was re-released by that label on March 5, 2012.
Recording, production, and composition
The album was recorded in 2010 at Shemesh Music Recording Studio in Ma'alot-Tarshiha. It was produced and mixed by then-drummer David Epstein and guitarist Brad Rubinstein.
Musically, the songs on the album combine lead vocalist Ori Murray's rappedverses with melodic choruses that echo Shlomo Carlebach, Sephardic music, and funk, among many other artists and genres. Rubinstein told Ynet, "It's not just hip hop, I mean, it's more like pop, rock, techno, trip hop, and groove. So, ordinarily, like, the verses are all hip hop, but the choruses are something you'd expect from a cool pop band and a rock band." "If you listen on the CD," Murray noted, "there's an entirely acoustic track with no rapping...[The album is] a broad spectrum of everything."
Infinity (stylized as ∞) is the second international studio album (fifth overall release) by Filipina pop and R&B singer Charice. The album was released exclusively early in Japan on October 5, 2011 by Warner Bros. Records.
Charice launched a seven-city tour across Asia in order to promote the official Asian release of the album in Summer 2012. The tour began on March 2, 2012.
The album's release in America was planned, but eventually cancelled.
Background
On August 16, 2011, Charice's record label, Warner Bros. Records, announced their plans to release her second studio album early in Japan on October 5, 2011. On August 30 it was announced that the album would be titled Infinity.
On March 28, 2012, Charice said that she had been working on the American release of the album and that its track listing would differ from the Asian version. No release date had been decided at the time.
On July 27, 2013, she revealed the main reason why the album was never released in America: "Some of the songs didn't pass their standards. They're more about upbeat, danceable songs over there," she said in a statement.
The storyline concerns issues built up in multiple Marvel comic books as part of the Marvel NOW! initiative, primarily Avengers and New Avengers. These issues include a threat to the universe by an ancient race of aliens known as the Builders. The second is the mysterious ailments plaguing the universe with Earth at the center. The third is the political ramifications these events have on Earth's relationship to the rest of the galactic community.
The story itself involves Thanos attacking Earth while the Avengers are in space uniting the universe against the Builders, with the events of the 2013 "Age of Ultron" storyline acting as a catalyst for the rest of the universe to formally target Earth. The various tie-ins tell Thanos's attack from the perspective of various Marvel characters.
"無限 (Unlimited)" is F.I.R.'s 2nd album. It was released on April 8, 2005. This album also has Thorn Bird Glory Limited Edition. "無限 (Unlimited)" stayed in G-music chart for 21 weeks (3rd place in 2005).
Part of songs in this album was produced in Sarm West Studio in London. The songs "千年之戀", "LOVE*3", "應許之地", "把愛放開", "刺鳥", "死心的理由" and the instrumental tracks "盛宴..." and "傳說..." were coordinated with London Philharmonic Orchestra.
The track "千年之戀" (Thousand Years of Love) was nominated for Top 10 Gold Songs at the Hong Kong TVB8 Awards, presented by television station TVB8, in 2005.
The album was awarded one of the Top 10 Selling Mandarin Albums of the Year at the 2005 IFPI Hong Kong Album Sales Awards, presented by the Hong Kong branch of IFPI.

Signature "Scream King", Jordan "Infinity" Suecof, was born in Connecticut. Drums were an immediate attachment and rocked on to master all things musical beginning in 1983. He began the indelible processing of making sound matter. From the bass-driven beat of the Beatles to the radiating wail of the rock era, Jordan wound down Led Zeppelin, Billy Joel and The Who. Rock warped into metal—and metal into mayhem as hip hop urban took a giant leap forward on music's center stage.
Graduation at 17, Jordan GPS'd his way to the Dirty South; first stop Orlando. His first placement came in 2005. At 21 he had a #1 Adult AC chart topper that led to the Grammy winning album The Breakthrough by Mary J. Blige. As producer of Take Me As I Am, the album also won a Grammy for Best R&B Album with over 3 million copies sold. That track also garnered an ASCAP award and major media buzz for Jordan as he took home the props for R&B Song of the Year. Atlantic Records took notice. Fast-track to Lupe Fiasco's album Food and Liquor. In 2008, Jordan's co-produced DayDreamin which also won the Grammy for Best Urban/Alternative Performance. Unfortunately, Jordan never received credit for that cut. Then destiny had a new address. ATL.
