[edit] Controversy

Since protoscience is by definition outside of mainstream conventional thinking, there are controversial aspects to protoscientific investigations. At this website, when there are two or more views of a topic, all should be presented. Evidence for and against all views should be presented.

[edit] Protoscience descriptions

• Try to include the most exciting hypothesis
• Try to explain why it is hard to test the most exciting hypothesis
• Try to suggest how each protoscience might become a more accepted part of mainstream science
• Try to point out aspects of the subject that have become pseudoscientific
• Try to describe what the world must be like if the most exciting hypothesis of each specific protoscience is WRONG.
• Try to list any unviversity departments, peer-reviewed journals, or scientific societies that have already formed for each protoscience.
• Try to find and list some good websites
