Hey Anjali,

Science is based on true facts and is verified and there is proof of everything in science. While The term pseudoscience refers to beliefs and practices that claim to be scientific but lack the true method and essence of science. So what is true is science and the mythical and non true form of science is pseudoscience or false science as the name suggests.

Hope this helps,

All the best and Thank you!

Hello student ,

Pseudoscience looks out for evidence to support and confirm its claims. However, on the other end of the spectrum, science actively looks for evidence that could possibly falsify the assertions, in a bid to present a bulletproof claim.

Further scientific theories welcome potential falsifiers, they do not hold back from making claims that may prove to be false further down the line. Pseudoscientific theories, on the other hand, have no place for such falsifiers, and the claims fit into any set of observable outcomes.

Hope it will help you !
