Hello everyone,
Wanted to know what constitutes a “science” compared to a “pseudoscience.” Also have there been pseudosciences in the past that later became an actual science? Any examples. Thanks.

Pseudoscience by definition is an attempt to defraud or fake by using at least some of the language and imprimatur of science to sell bunk. I don’t think that’s ever led to anything substantial, except harm. There have been examples of fringe or revolutionary science which were either set aside until the mentality or technology of the age changed, or were rejected only to be accepted later, but these were good faith attempts to explore the world around them.
Tl;dr No, pseudoscience is the product of a certain type of lying.
