Pseudoscience
Pseudoscience refers to beliefs, theories, or practices that claim to be scientific and factual but lack empirical evidence, scientific method, or reproducibility. Unlike genuine science, pseudoscience is characterized by the absence of rigorous testing, peer review, and falsifiability. Common examples include astrology, homeopathy, and alchemy. Pseudoscientific claims often rely on anecdotal evidence, appeal to authority, and resistance to contradictory evidence. The scientific community generally regards pseudoscience as misleading and potentially harmful, as it can undermine public understanding of science and critical thinking.
