Re: Pseudoscience

Very good, Boof (May I call you Boof?).

We often forget that modern chemistry is an outgrowth of alchemy. That is the most benign outcome of pseudoscience I can think of. Astronomy coming from astrology is good, but hasn't resulted in the treatments for disease that chemistry has. It has given us Tang, though.

What other good results of bad science can people come up with?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
