discovery leads to understanding the general characteristics of natural processes.
Mathematical models are then developed which separate the natural processes
into theoretical-mathematical descriptions. Therefore, by analytical means the
necessary conditions that have to be satisfied are deduced. Separate events
must satisfy these conditions. Experience should then match the conditions. The
theory of relativity belongs to the class of principle theories. As such itanalytic method. This means that the elements which comprise thisempirical discovery. The empirical
special theory of relativity
and general theory of relativity are connected.’

  1. I have long felt a special connection with Herbal Medicine. For one thing is natural, Charlie we went to the same small college in Southern California — Claremont Men’s College — though he dropped out and ultimately enrolled at the Julliard School of the Performing Arts in New York. Had he stayed at Claremont, he would have been a senior the year I started there; I have often kidded that I was the reason he left when he finds out I had herpes. So my life have been lonely like hell all day I couldn't bear the outbreak pain, Tasha then introduce me to Dr Itua who use his herbal medicine to cure her two weeks of drinking it. I place an order form him and he delivers to my post office then I picked it up and used for two weeks all my sore was healed completely no more outbreak I'm honestly telling you this man is a great man, I trust him and his herbal medicine so much I'm sharing this to show my appreciation also to let sick people know there is hope with Dr Itua Herbal Made Medicine.Dr Itua Contact Email.drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com,Whatsapp.+2348149277967
