Not really, 'pataphysics (the first letter is ') is a bogus scientific method invented by the French 'pataphysicist Alfred Jarry sometime in the 1890's.

Jarry defined 'pataphysics as:

the science of imaginary solutions, which symbolically attributes the properties of objects, described by their virtuality, to their lineaments

or, more precisely:

science qui accorde symboliquement aux linéaments les propriétés des objets décrits par leur virtualité

The basic idea of 'pataphysics is that you decide what you want to believe, and then make up 'facts' which prove it.

Some people accused Jarry of being unserious in his approach to reality; but Creation Science adopted his methods, and has convinced at least half the population of the US that eggs grow up to be oak trees.

i nearly died laughing when I read the original description, the basis of pop culture and Hollywood logic and science is more suitable for this power.
