Pseudoscience
From ScienceZero
Pseudoscience is anything that pretends to be science but fails in the attempt.
Common signs of pseudoscience
- Claims with no supporting experimental evidence.
- Claims which contradicts experimental evidence.
- Claims that can't be proved false.
- Failing to consider all the facts.
- Failing to provide an experimental possibility of reproducible results.
- Violating the principle of choosing the simplest explanation when multiple viable explanations are possible.
Some of these may be part of the scientific method at one stage but should be eliminated through iteration of the process.
