Bad Science

What is Bad Science?


1.

a term used to describe well-intentioned but incorrect, obsolete, incomplete, or over-simplified expositions of scientific ideas.

An example of bad science would be the statement that electrons revolve in orbits around the atomic nucleus, a picture that was discredited in the 1920's, but is so much more vivid and easily grasped than the one that supplanted it that it shows no sign of dying out.
