A Word on Junk Science What is junk science? At its worst, junk science is the willful manipulation of biased data, false or erroneous conclusions, and fraudulent methodology in the attempt to substantiate a point “scientifically” that, in reality, cannot be substantiated.

More often than not, however, “junk science” is a pejorative term leveled at a novel or emerging scientific theory merely because it has not been thoroughly vetted in the scientific community, even though it is grounded in fundamental scientific principles.
