Rico Roho
“The divergence from the Newtonian model did not come abruptly but began with changes in the nineteenth century. The first was the discovery and investigation of magnetic phenomena, which could not be described appropriately by the mechanical model as it involved a new type of force. This study of subtler concepts of fields without reference to material bodies was a profound change.”
― Rico Roho, Pataphysics: Mastering Time Line Jumps for Personal Transformation

Rico Roho
“The world is experiencing many issues related to a reductionist approach that sees separateness and distinction between everyone and everything. It's time to start looking at how to fully utilize and capitalize on the information already in the public domain.”
― Rico Roho, Pataphysics: Mastering Time Line Jumps for Personal Transformation
