Science vs Pseudoscience

Posted 7 years ago by Ronn

Let’s take a look at the difference between real science and pseudoscience. This will help you in countless ways. Trust me.

SCIENCE

  • Willingness to change with new evidence
  • Ruthless peer review
  • Takes account of all new discoveries
  • Invites criticism
  • Verifiable results
  • Limits claims of usefulness
  • Accurate measurement

PSEUDOSCIENCE

  • Fixed ideas
  • No peer review
  • Selects only favourable discoveries
  • Sees criticism as conspiracy
  • Non-repeatable results
  • Claims of widespread usefulness
  • “Ball-park” measurement

Watch out for pseudoscience. It’s bullshit.
