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.
