The Tao produced One, One produced Two, Two produced Three, and Three produced All things. “Tao-te Ching“by Lao Zi in B.C. 400 To explore the laws of the nature, step in 1 → 2 → 3 .
To explore the laws of the nature, step in 1 → 2 → 3 . Earth-Moon-Satellite Gravitational Interactions • Two Body Interactions : Gravity • Three Body Interactions by the polarizations of the ocean water of the earth by the moon’s gravity
