What is pseudoscience? How is it different from non-science? What errors tend to lead to pseudoscience?

cookiemonster:

@Jebediah

EvieSwan2405:

pseudoscience consists of statements, beliefs, or practices that are claimed to be scientific and factual, in the absence of evidence gathered and constrained by appropriate scientific methods.

cookiemonster:

no but its asking for the difference to non-science... not just regular science

Jebediah:

Pseudoscience is basically science experiments with no evidence or proof to show that it is legit but is said to be factually correct even though this may not be the case as there is no evidnece to support it.

Jebediah:

evidence*

Um no.

EvieSwan2405:

It's actually something I have on my own google doc. I did this type of science before!

Jebediah:

Non-science is basically just a scientific paper/experiment/belief with no theory

cookiemonster:

What errors tend to lead to pseudoscience?

EvieSwan2405:

Idk I never had that part in meh notes

Jebediah:

Okay

Jebediah:

I said this before, pseudoscience does not have any facts or evdience

Jebediah:

evidence*

Jebediah:

This in itself is an error andshould not really be used

Jebediah:

So basically, if you forget o gather or record evidence, this will lead to pseudoscience.

cookiemonster:

cookiemonster:

What is matter?

Jebediah:

Matter as in space?

Jebediah:

Well matter is basically the material that binds space together

Jebediah:

In the equation e=mc^2 matter is also shown to be a source of energy

Jebediah:

So basically, Matter, is everything except for anti-matter

Jebediah:

anti-matter is the opposite of matter but still takes up space.

Jebediah:

you got that?

Jebediah:

buddy?

cookiemonster:

Jebediah:

cookiemonster:

OK What is a meter? Give two examples of objects that are a meter in length.

Jebediah:

A meter would be a man's stride

Jebediah:
