Characteristics of Pseudoscience

A system of beliefs or practices is considered pseudoscientific if its supporters present it as scientific, yet it fails to incorporate one or more of the three fundamental features of science. Specifically, a pseudoscience may lack systematic empiricism by ignoring relevant scientific research, it may fail to create public knowledge by not publishing research for external evaluation, or it may propose claims that are not falsifiable and do not address empirical questions.
