Pseudoscience!
Hey guys! here we meet in another post!
I know it has been a month since I have written one cause I was busy searching for a stupefying topic...and ya I guess I have found a topic worth the search!...I hope you all enjoy reading!!!
In today's post we shall get to know what is PSEUDOSCIENCE!!!!
So have you heard of the word Pseudoscience?.... If it sounds Greek and Latin then you are not wrong, Cause it IS Greek and Latin....I am not joking.!
So basically the word " PSEUDOSCIENCE" is derived from Greek where PSEUDO meaning FALSE and from LATIN where SCIENTIA means KNOWLEDGE. I guess now you get it why I said it is Greek and Latin๐

What is Pseudoscience?
So Pseudoscience is anything that is both Factual and Fictitious....that is, it is scientific as well as incompatible with scientific method. Confusing? Then let me give you a simple example....
I am pretty sure all of you have heard of the Bermuda Triangle, in short, it is a area where unexplained things take place such as disappearance of planes, ships etc.
The disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle do have scientific explanations ( i.e. Factual ) like bad weather conditions....It also has claims of Supernatural forces like UFOs and aliens (i.e. Fictitious ).
I guess all of have got a basic idea of the term 'Pseudoscience' now.
Pseudoscience is a pretty debated topic among Science Lovers as they claim that anything that is completely not proved by science is NOT science at all, basically they come to say that there is nothing called False Science, anything that is not compatible with science can never come under science.
Condemning?
(Well that is upto you to decide)
A comparative study of Science and Pseudoscience
So, now are you a science lover or a pseudoscience lover? That is a quiet tough choice to make....
Science is more of research, accuracy and proofs while pseudoscience is nothing but your vivid imagination and a little bit of science put together....Thus anyone can create a conclusion for a particular pseudoscientific theory. Like, if we take the above example of the Bermuda triangle I can make a conclusion that the mysterious happening are done because of a Kraken living underwater ( to know what is a kraken refer to my blog post on Kraken๐).
Pseudoscience is a very vast topic with lots of awesomeness and an equal amount of stupidity. It is a controversial word with lots of meaning and is considered by different people in different ways around the world. There are a whole lot of examples when in comes to Pseudoscience, to be more specific 'magical examples'.
Aaaand that is for another post : Pseudoscience: The Sequel
