Pseudoscience
Pseudoscience refers to beliefs, practices, or claims that are presented as scientific but lack empirical support, rigorous methodology, or adherence to the scientific method. It often relies on anecdotal evidence, confirmation bias, and appeals to emotion rather than objective analysis. Common examples include astrology, homeopathy, and certain alternative medicine practices. Pseudoscience can mislead individuals and hinder scientific literacy, as it may appear credible to the untrained eye. Distinguishing pseudoscience from legitimate science is crucial for informed decision-making and public understanding of scientific principles.
