Aus seiner jahrzehntelangen geomantischen Arbeit und den vielfältigen Kommunikationen mit anderen Sphären beschreibt Marko Pogačnik in diesem Buch, wie sich eine neue Erde allmählich und zuerst in der »kausalen« oder »archetypischen« Dimension heranbildet, um – nicht zuletzt durch unser Mittun – in unserer Dimension Gestalt anzunehmen.
By modern analytic mechanics we mean the classical mechanics of today, that is, the mechanics that has proven particularly useful in understanding the universe as we experience it from the solar system, to particle accelerators, to rocket motion.
Engineers and non-engineers often eschew electrical engineering because it is premised on concepts and mathematical techniques that are somewhat more abstract and elusive than those employed in disciplines like civil, mechanical, and industrial engineering.
