Pseudoscientific
Theories
A lengthy, not quite exhaustive, list of
theories under several disciplines such as Biology, Physics, Medicine,
Psychology, Sociology, etc. variously regarded as
pseudoscientific. They are linked to three main encyclopaedic
sources: The Skeptic's Dictionary. Wikipedia and Brainy Encyclopedia
for detailed descriptions.
There is also a link to a similar - possibly
more exhaustive - list of protoscientific theories.
Once again we are looking for comments and
feedback on the material provided.
