Pseudoscience 伪科学




Pseudoscience consists of statements, beliefs, or practices that are claimed to be both scientific and factual but are incompatible with the scientific method.

Indicators of possible Pseudoscience
 Use of vague, exaggerated or untestable claims;
 Over-reliance on confirmation rather than refutation;
 Lack of openness to testing by other experts;
 Absence of progress; and
 Personalization of issues
  Use of misleading language/terms



The following topics have been characterized as Pseudoscience ( its a long list, so I picked some that I've encountered previously ) :
