From Fringepedia - The FRINGE wiki
(Redirected from Fringe Science)
Wikipedia describes Fringe Science as:
∞ Scientific inquiry in an established field of study which departs significantly from mainstream or orthodox theories, and is classified in the "fringes" of a credible mainstream academic discipline. Fringe concepts are considered highly speculative or weakly confirmed by mainstream scientists.
∞ Though there are examples of mainstream scientists supporting maverick ideas within their own discipline of expertise, many fringe science ideas are advanced by individuals either without a traditional academic science background, or by scientists outside the mainstream of their own disciplines
∞ The term fringe science is sometimes used to describe fields which are actually pseudosciences, or fields which are referred to as sciences, but lack scientific rigor or plausibility. Scientists have also coined the terms voodoo science and cargo cult science to describe inquiry lacking in scientific integrity.
