Pseudoscience refers to beliefs or practices that claim to be scientific but lack empirical support, rigorous methodology, or adherence to the scientific method. It often relies on anecdotal evidence, unfalsifiable claims, and confirmation bias rather than objective experimentation and peer review. Common examples include Astrology, homeopathy, and certain alternative medicine practices. While pseudoscience may appear credible, it typically does not withstand scrutiny and can mislead individuals about important scientific concepts.
