Pseudoscience

Pseudoscience refers to beliefs or practices that claim to be scientific but lack rigorous evidence and methodology. Unlike genuine science, which is based on objective testing and peer review, pseudoscience often relies on anecdotal evidence and ignores conflicting data. It can be driven by bias—where individuals prioritize personal belief over evidence—leading to conclusions that are untestable and not reproducible. This undermines the scientific method, which seeks to eliminate bias and emphasizes critical thinking and evidence-based conclusions. Recognizing pseudoscience is essential for distinguishing credible information from misleading claims.
