Pathological science

Pathological science is when people believe something is true even when there is no actual proof. Think of it like when you have a pretend friend, but you know they’re not real, it’s just fun to pretend.

With pathological science, people believe that something is true, but they don’t have any real evidence to support their belief. It’s like having a pretend friend, but instead of just you believing in them, a whole bunch of people believe in them too.

Science is all about finding evidence to support ideas and beliefs. When people believe in something without any real evidence, it can be dangerous because it can lead to bad decisions or beliefs that are not true.

For example, take the idea that certain crystals have healing powers. Some people believe that if they keep a crystal near them, it can help them feel better or heal them from illnesses. But there’s no actual proof that crystals have any such powers.

Pathological science is something to be aware of, and we should always try to find evidence to support our beliefs and ideas.
