It's not necessarily false, it's just less rigorous.

So we can call it light science. Or amateur science?

People shouldn't be discouraged from practicing science.

Or we could call it pseudoscience? I'm not discouraging anyone, in fact I'm encouraging repeating the experiment with more rigour, that is calling you more science.

dude just experimented a bit.

science is when what you call rigour leads from hypothesis closer to fact or not fact.

op just tried a quick and dirty experiment with duck tape and stuff.

get your attitude right, mate.

name three examples that describe the term pseudo-science, to begin with. Psychology doesn't count ^^
