Science and pseudoscience both aim to explain phenomena, but they differ significantly in methodology and acceptance by the scientific community. Science depends on experimental validation and peer review, while pseudoscience often lacks empirical support and is not subject to critical scrutiny. Understanding these differences is essential in evaluating claims about the natural world.
