'...Pseudoscience is any belief system or methodology which tries to gain legitimacy by wearing the trappings of science, but fails to abide by the rigorous methodology and standards of evidence that demarcate true science. Although pseudoscience is designed to have the appearance of being scientific, it lacks any of the substance of science.
Promoters of pseudoscience often adopt the vocabulary of science, describing conjectures as theories or laws, often providing evidence from observation, expert testimonials, or even developing what appear to be mathematical models of their ideas. However, in pseudoscience there is no real honest attempt to follow the scientific method, provide falsifiable predictions, or develop double blind experiments. Pseudoscientists often use the tactic of cheating the scientific method. ...''

Galactic Federation: Ja nigde ne tvrdim izricito da ce oni doci 2012, ali je to vrlo moguce i bilo bi logicno.
Veliki ciklus od 25000 godina bi trebao da se zavrsi tad.
Vezano za tacan polozaj Zemlje i suncevog sistema u galaksiji.
Mnogo nezavisnih stvari upucuje na ovaj period na kraju ciklusa.
Pominje se takozvani fotonski pojas. To je pojas nevidljive energije koja putuje kroz galaksiju iz centra i treba da obuhvati zemlju na kraju ciklusa.
Na primer u jednom tajnom projektu gde su prebacivali svest kroz vreme koristeci tehnologiju iz komandne stolice izvadjene iz srusenog tanjira od greyova, pominje se da kada su pokusali da idu dalje od 2012 godine "udarili bi od zid".
Pri tom bi imali neverovatno iskustvo gde im se svest rasiri i mogu da vide sve, makro i mirko kosmos odjednom, uz bozanstven osecaj.
Takodje sto su isli blize 2012 buducnost je postajala sve neodredjenija i sa razlicitim preklapajucim mogucnostima.
Ovaj dogadjaj kada bi fotonski pojas trebao da obuhvati zemlju se zove Ascension (uzdignuce). I pretstavlja period kada cela planeta i zivot na njoj prelaze na visi vibracioni nivo materije gde je sve onako kako sam opisao u intervjuu.

... No attempts or interest in replication or outside verification
While closely related to a refusal to submit to peer review, the total lack of interest in any form of replication or outside verification is an important issue in and of itself. Pseudoscience is presented as a completed package, a done deal. Pseudoscientific ideas may claim to have unified physics, cured the sick, reduced all of mathematics to an algebraic proof, and created limitless energy. They claim there is no need to go any further, just embrace the idea and enter utopia.
Often the pseudoscience promoter will use the techniques of vague language to make outside verification impossible, or will offer the secrets only to those people who are deemed worthy, or who pay large sums of money. If by chance, someone attempts to replicate or verify the idea and fails they must be either stupid or a paid shill for the evil conspiracy out to hide the truth.
This embracing of the idea that the problem is solved and needs no verification is also the source for our next major characteristic of pseudoscience...''

... New Age is a catchall term for a wide range of spiritual and social movements that developed out of the likes of the Human Potential Movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Characteristic of the New Age movement is the focus on spiritual matters, with emphasis on individuality. These beliefs often are attributed to real or alleged Asian mystics (particularly Indian and Tibetan) and indeed many New Age type beliefs draw heavily from Eastern religions, particularly Buddhism. The New Age movement often lacks intellectual rigor and shuns scientific approaches to reality, ostensibly due to the perceived separation between science and spirituality, but also under the pretense of postmodern congruity. Practitioners of New Age beliefs usually choose a pick-n-mix approach to spirituality, adapting beliefs and practices from a wide variety of sources such as Hinduism, Neopaganism, ufology, Zen, and any other weird concept that is appealing...''
''...The fundamental guiding principle of the New Age, such as there is one, is vitalism, as mentioned above -- the idea that there is a physical universe and a spiritual realm, that interact but are entirely separate. Since the New Age is essentially a grab bag of philosophies, it is easiest to describe some of its components in a list:
Astrology and sham astronomy -- In addition to the fevered ramblings of those who carry on a long-discredited form of using the stars and planets to predict the future, New Agers (who often overlap with UFO fans) often ascribe special significance to certain real or imagined features in space (see Photon belt as an example of the latter). A popular New Age pastime is predicting doom and gloom every time planets, moons and or stars seem to "line up".
Channeling -- the act of allowing your body and mind to become a "host" for a higher spirit, usually a long-dead spiritual guru. Usually consists of bad acting and vague religious platitudes, but "channeler" JZ Knight managed to get a popular Hollywood movie [1] made about her and her character "Ramtha".
Communication with the dead -- At the same time one of the most popular and most widely reviled New Age practices, there is a large market for trying to reach loved ones who have died. Mediums, practitioners of such feats as seances, tend to cater to the weaknesses of the bereaved and desperate, and rationalists consider such people to be the most damaging and blatantly thieving of the hucksters in the movement, especially since the "dead" tend overwhelmingly to talk in vague, feel-good babbling.
Extrasensory perception-- largely drawn from the Human Potential movement, many New Agers believe that given enough training it is possible to see things that cannot be directly observed (remote viewing or clairvoyance), to read minds (telepathy), or to predict the future or view the past (precognition and postcognition). Despite the efforts of a band of overly credulous scientists in the 1960s and 1970s (called "counterculture physicists" by Martin Gardner, among others), no reliable evidence of psychic phenomena has ever occurred.
Fairies -- Belief in fairies, faeries, furries, devas, angels, and other sorts of entities in this and other dimensions that can be contacted for advice and healing.
Healing -- Various forms of "energy work", epitomized by the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, and the use of Reiki are taught and used to heal others of real and imaginary ailments. Crystals, aromatherapy, and sound therapy all play a role in the desire by every New Ager to be a Christ-like healer.
Magical thinking, such as the currently fashionable Law of Attraction.
Pseudoscience -- Rather than simply present their material as religious, New Agers often cloak their beliefs in the language of science, with constant ill-defined use of the terms "energy" and "vibration", as well as a heavy dose of sham quantum physics, being the most common abuses. A great deal of alternative medicine is either rooted in or closely associated with the movement as well. Reiki is one such belief popular among New Agers.
Pyramid Power -- the belief that the pyramidal shape somehow acts like a lens to focus cosmic energy. Some New Agers actually put their razor under a plastic pyramid in the belief that this will sharpen the blade overnight.
Reincarnation and past-life regression -- Loosely drawn from reincarnation doctrine in Hinduism and Buddhism, reincarnation is a common belief among New Agers, and the attempt to recover memories of past lives is a common practice. Observers have noted that one's past life personalities were never janitors or office clerks - kings, queens and famous generals are very much in demand for past lives of the New Ager. Now are the dead contactable or are they leading new lives? During the 1980s, actress Shirley MacLaine promoted past-life regression, leading to considerable ridicule. [2]
Sacred Geometry -- Esoteric meanings and symbolism are attached to certain geometric forms and ratios, such as the Vesica piscis. New Agers believe that such shapes offer insight to the inner workings of the universe.[3]
Shamanism -- The need to be "someone special" frequently manifests itself in the fashioning of a new identity, as a mystical healer who travels on the astral plane to communicate with spirits and the dead, modelled after the purported beliefs and rituals of traditional cultures in the Amazon, Siberia and the American West.
Sham quantum physics -- New Agers, as a rule, really like the "observer" principle of the orthodox Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, and when they need a scientific-sounding Band-aid to impress the rubes, "quantum" is a word that gets a lot of use. The fact that Copenhagen is a drastic (and very old, and primitive) oversimplification of a brutally difficult subject, as well as the fact that it really doesn't make any sense in this context, didn't stop Gary Zukav [4] and Fritjof Capra [5] from giving embryonic New Agers just enough leeway to make them look horribly foolish.
Scamming -- While it is clear that a good number of New Age practitioners actually believe the tripe they put out, many of them are no more sincere than a garden-variety televangelist and are in it only to take money from gullible folks who want to believe that there's Something Out There.
New Agers are often fellow-travelers with the alternative medicine community, and people like Deepak Chopra habitually cross the line without making any meaningful distinction. A good number of New Agers also espouse liberal politics, making easy straw man targets for libertarian "debunkers" like Penn and Teller. ..''
