Pseudoscience And Its Relationship With Another Science

Pseudoscience and its relationship with another science

Introduction

The pseudosciences: Among the main issues addressed are: definition of pseudoscience, philosophical dimensions of this concept, parapsychology, reasonable and crazy conjectures, relative and absolute skepticism, connections between pseudoscience-philosophy-political-political. To begin, we must be clear that, in this world every time we want to know or find out about something we perform a series of steps, which begin with: doubt and observation. That is, after doubt and observation, a hypothesis is elaborated, which an assumption of something possible or impossible for what has been, observed and doubted. 

Developing

Then that hypothesis becomes an experiment, which will show a series of data that will be analyzed, exposing whether the formulated hypothesis is true or false. Finally, a report is made by reporting the favorable or unfavorable results, in the latter case a careful analysis must be performed to determine where the error occurred, either reformulating the hypothesis or remaking the experiments, until showing results: real, reasonable and tangible. According to the author, the scientific method must be accompanied by a scientific worldview: materialistic, realistic, rationalist, empiricist and systemic.

For the author, scientific research is the honest search for authentic knowledge about the real world, specifically about its laws, with the help of both theoretical and empirical means in particular, the scientific method and every body of scientific knowledge is supposed to be a coherencelogic, and must be the subject of rational debate within a community of researchers.

The curious thing about this method is that, it is not intended to present an absolute truth, but rather offers an explanation to what we want to know, since each hypothesis is raised so that it can be refuted.

On the other hand, a series of interesting explanations are offered that at first glance seems to make sense, but once analyzed thoroughly, they mean meaning, they contain invalid foundations or use of irrationable things, making clear their lack of logic. This reflects that every field of knowledge that is not scientific, but that is announced as such is pseudoscientific or false science. Pseudoscience does not admit its own ignorance and, therefore, the need for greater investigation;does not receive new hypotheses and methods;does not try to discover or apply laws;He does not seek to update his information or be subject to criticism;among others. 

Some examples of branches of pseudoscience are: energies, astrology, etc. The energies are synthetically defined, as a physical amount that tells us how things move, distinguishing on the one hand the kinetic energy (which establishes the idea that the faster the more energy is left), and on the other hand there is thePotential energy (which has to be related to interactions, forces, that is, it is the energy that could be obtained). It is precisely within the potential energy where they are subtypes of energy such as gravitational, electromagnetic, elastic, chemistry, etc. Astrology is a belief that is based on the fact that the moon and other celestial bodies.

conclusion

They have direct influence on life on earth and how it develops. For example, horoscopes are based on this, so there are people who create them (that is, astrologers seek a physical mechanism by which these planets could affect us in some way). That said, in my opinion, but without judging anyone, I understand that there are people who take advantage of the existence of a worldwide problem, such as depression or emotional disorders, in order to profit from this condition they facecertain people. Therefore I understand that pseudoscience is like a lack of knowledge or a misinterpretation of the analyzed data, and there is the importance of being critical of the information that one perceives.
