This forums title has always bothered me as, by definition, there is no such thing as alternative science - the true title is pseudo science. Science is defined as "a systematic enterprise that builds and
organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.". If any of your theories are proved sound through rigorous testing and peer review they become part of accepted science. On the other hand, Pseudoscience is a claim, belief or practice which is presented as scientific, but does not adhere to a valid scientific method, lacks supporting evidence or plausibility, cannot be reliably tested, or otherwise lacks scientific status. Pseudoscience is often characterized
by the use of vague, contradictory,
exaggerated or unprovable claims, an over-reliance on confirmation rather than rigorous attempts at refutation, a lack of openness to evaluation by other experts, and a
general absence of systematic
processes to rationally develop
theories. Sound familiar to anyone?
