This is a list of the most popular or popular pseudosciences among the many that exist. The word "pseudo" means false, meaning that they are false sciences. This is because it is a discipline that presents itself as scientific or that imitates the forms of a science, although it is not recognized as such by the traditional scientific community. They develop knowledge that can not be verified reliably. As the average taringer does not like to read, I will be concise with each one.
Here the list:
Puncture with one or more needles that is performed in a part of the body and has a curative or therapeutic purpose.
Proto-science that evolved to the current chemistry, by which we seek the transmutation (transformation) of some materials into different ones, discover the constituent elements of the universe, the elixir of life, etc.
Very old pseudoscience. A set of beliefs that postulate causal relationships between the stars and the personality of individuals, trying to predict future events of people or things. Here are also the signs of the zodiac.
