What is Age: Definition and 589 Discussions

âge (アージュ, Āju) is a division of Avex Pictures as of July 10, 2017, a Japanese developer and publisher of adult video games and visual novels. âge was formerly known as Relic and developed video games for consoles. It gained fame following the release of its 2001 adult visual novel Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. It was founded by Hirohiko Yoshida, Baka Prince Persia, Nanpuureima, Spin Drill, and Carnelian. âge games are published under the brands Âge, Mirage, and Φâge.
In 2011, âge created its own parent company "ixtl" as a rights management company for âge's content, particularly the Muv-Luv franchise. The company was jointly held by CEO Takashi Nakanishi, Nippon Cultural Broadcasting, and Good Smile Company. In 2017, Avex Pictures acquired ixtl (and thus âge), and later changed the company's name to "aNCHOR".

    Age of the Universe - is it meaningful?

    The age of the universe is equated to the age of the oldest objects in it - and estimated at about 13.75 billion years. But in whose frame of reference is this measurement valid? Surely the oldest objects have spent much of their "lives" either under intense gravitational fields, or traveling at...

    Can Standing Still Make Time Pass Faster Than the Speed of Light?

    It seems if one could travel at the speed of light, they would never age. Time stops. So if someone wants to slow down the aging process, say compared to their friends, they need to take a trip as close to the speed of light as possible. Contrary to that, many young children can't wait to get...

    An age of the Universe around 20 billion years

    Is it coincidental that the Hubble Sphere, in light years, is approximately the age of the universe computed as 1/Ho (13.7 billion years)? If the recession speed exceeds the speed of light, the photon would never reach the observer, this is why there exists a horizon of the visible Universe...

    Twin Paradox: Explaining Symmetry & Age Difference
