Title: What is 'alternative science'?
Post by: rdococ on March 06, 2018, 02:13:55 PM

The scientific method boils down to this:

• Observe and experiment with something.
• Formulate a hypothesis in an attempt to explain it.
• Predict what will happen in the outcome of an experiment (or a few experiments) on it using the hypothesis.
• Test the hypothesis by performing the experiment(s) to see if the prediction was accurate.
• If not, adjust the hypothesis until it is more accurate.

I don't understand what 'alternative science' is. Is there an 'alternative scientific method'? Or do you just make stuff up on the spot?

Think pseudoscience and homeopathic medicine.

Agreed. We should form that right now, fellow cultist.
