Pseudoscience refers to belief, theories and practices that claims to be scientific but which have no basis in scientific facts.
Pseudoscience has many traits two of which are:
1. It is based on dogma and uncritical belief. Counter evidence might draw hostility from pseudo scientists.
2. There is usually suppression or distortion of data. Pseudo scientists typically perform selective data gathering, in which they only gather and consider favorable data that support their claims.
