Two Examples pleasee

Answer 1

Homeopathy for one. Not a real science. "pretends" to have some scientific basis.

Answer 2

I have heard some cynics refer to psychology as pseudoscience because almost any assertion can be made without really good evidence for support. Astrology is another example of a pseudoscience because there is no real proven connection to personality and the particular alignment of the sky at the time of birth--yet many people believe anyway.

Answer 3

Pseudoscience is science that seems to make sense logically, or science that is done to prove something that the researcher has decided that they already know the answer and want to bend the science to fit their outcome.
Lots of pseudoscience is based on health care claims, like some vitamin cures cancer, or that everybody has 20 pounds of "impacted" waste matter stuck in their colon.
Good science is proven using scientific method, and is left open for other knowledgable people to try to prove that it is not true.

Answer 4

A pseudoscience is any body of alleged knowledge, methodology, belief, or practice that claims to be scientific but does not follow the scientific method.
The term pseudoscience appears to have been first used in 1843 as a combination of the Greek root pseudo, meaning false, and the Latin scientia, meaning knowledge or a field of knowledge. It generally has negative connotations, because it asserts that things so labeled are inaccurately or deceptively described as science. As such, those labeled as practicing or advocating a "pseudoscience" normally reject this classification.
Cryptozoology
Perpetual motion
Personology

Cryptozoology is the study of animals that are rumored to exist, but for which conclusive proof is still missing; the term also includes the study of animals generally considered extinct, but which are still occasionally reported. Those who study or search for such animals are called cryptozoologists, while the hypothetical creatures involved are referred to by some as "cryptids", a term coined by John Wall in 1983.

Perpetual motion refers to a condition in which an object continues to move indefinitely without being driven by an external source of energy.

The term is commonly used to refer to machines which display this phenomenon. In the macroscopic world, perpetual motion is not generally considered to be possible. Perpetual motion machines (the Latin term perpetuum mobile is not uncommon) are a class of hypothetical machines which would produce useful energy in a way which would violate the established laws of physics. No genuine perpetual motion machine currently exists, and according to certain fundamental laws in physics they cannot exist. Specifically, perpetual motion machines would violate either the first or second laws of thermodynamics. Perpetual motion machines are divided into two subcategories (some physicists, including the noted professor of thermodynamics Mark W. Zemansky, include a third), defined by which law of thermodynamics would have to be broken in order for the device to be a true perpetual motion machine.

Personology, is a recent "New Age" variant of the ancient pseudoscience of Physiognomy, which is closely related to the disproved study of Phrenology. It is a system of face reading that purports to show a correlation between a person's physical features and appearance, and the person's behavior, personality and character. Mainstream science considers personology to be a wholly false pseudoscience.
