However this is one of a few scientific investigations as sharks keep so many other interesting features and extraordinary abilities that were not investigated by scientists but are discovered day by day.

The word "pseudoscience" comes from the Greek meaning "science" and "false". The vocabulary defines "pseudoscience” as the activity that imitates science but that is not science by its essence.

Pseudoscience imitates the real science building laboratories and centres of investigation. The pseudo-scientists even put experiments and publish the results of the experiments but only when they prove and don’t contradict the main principles of the pseudoscience.

Specialities of pseudoscience

It is necessary to tell the pseudo-science from the scientific mistakes and from the development of science as the historical stage of the science development. The main difference between science and pseudoscience is the repeat of the got results.

The most characteristic features of pseudoscience are:

- The ignoring and changing of facts that contradict the theory of pseudoscience known to the author.

- The impossibility to put the experiment (even the mental one) as one of the results of such experiments could contradict the principles of pseudoscience.

- The refuse to compare the theoretical data with the results of observing if there is such possibility. The substitute of the results with the use of intuition, intellect or the proper opinion.

- The use of doubtful data as the base that is usually unproven with the help of experiments or that was got with data errors. It may also appeal to the unfinished theories, data got in the result of errors. But the scientific hypothesis doesn't refer to it, because it gives the basic information.

- The introduction of the political and religious slogans into publications and conferences. But it is necessary to be very carefully with this point as in such case Newton could be referred to the pseudo scientists. It is better to say that this point consists in the bad considering and division of the scientific knowledge and theories from the religious and political information.
