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.

The base of pseudoscience

Talking about pseudoscience it is always interesting how it appeared and what the base of its appearance was. After all if pseudoscience pretends to be the real science it should use something to prove it is science.

Usually it uses intuition and imagination making theories and providing science with theoretical bases forgetting about the practice,

Pseudoscience developed from the initial stages of the modern sciences development such as alchemy, astrology, numerology. Nowadays pseudo-scientists claim these are the real sciences because they are very ancient.

Another source of the pseudoscience is the attempts to connect the modern scientific theories with the religious and mystical knowledge. Such sciences can be referred to this category as creationism, parapsychology that included telepathy and telekinesis, telegony, etc.

The base for the development of pseudoscience may also be the ancient marginal sciences connected with the system of treatment, psychological knowledge, the political movement, etc. that are closely connected with the religion. Such category includes such sciences as valeology, dianetics, phrenology, etc.

This knowledge includes the elements that may be recognized by the modern sciences and the characteristics that are accepted by scientists as those that don't need to be proven. Pseudoscience is also the attempt to use the scientific approach as the brand and fashionable attribute for the article title.
