What is the difference between science pseudoscience and non science?

Answer 1

Science are activities that conforms to the scientific method. A summary of the scientific method that I was taught was that you publish a paper and all your colleages try and prove you wrong! Originally, the scientific method was proposed by Ibn al-Haytham in the 10th century as the search for truth; in the scientific method truth is the most important thing.

Pseudoscience are activities that purport to be scientific but don't conform to the scientific method. The following criteria have been suggested to detect pseudoscience:

* Use of vague, exaggerated or untestable claims * Over-reliance on confirmation rather than refutation * Lack of openness to testing by other experts * Absence of progress * Personalization of issues * Use of misleading language Non-science are activities that don't purport to be scientific.

Pseudoscience often borrows the science-sounding words and phrases of real science to confuse its victims. Astrology sounds like astronomy and uses terms like ascension, conjunction and cusp in the same way magicians use words in pseudo Latin (abracadabra and hocuspocus) as part of their act to make themselves sound like religious rites.
