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 .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.

Further scientific claims are rooted in verified evidence presented after arduous testing and experimentation. Pseudoscientific claims, however, do not rely on scientific methodologies of testing and verification. It relies on dogmas and assertions.

Hope it helps !
