Pseudoscience & Fringe Science
Both sciences are a little different compare to one another. To be able to make a right comparison, another science will be introduced and that will be traditional science. Traditional science is known to be a main stream science where it talks about the main stream & laws. Pseudoscience is a little more similar to fantasy’s magic system but have something that is in the real world, like mimesis, mode of imitation. Pseudoscience is based more on personal intuition and evaluation, much like philosophy. Practices like Astrology, tarot reading. Whereas for fringe science, it leans more to the traditional science concept very much like the real world.
Psychology, Astronomy, and Astrology falls under Pseudoscience because we know how we act, but we cannot answer the question as to why we do so.
Fringe science is like a confirm science which can be proven by mathematics and science concepts. Hypnotism, Dimensions falls under fringe science.
Despite the difference in the types of science all science are about possibilities and how the possibilities are able to work. Thus for us one should not turn away of any idea because any idea may turn out to be a useful idea eventually.
How Pseudoscience & Fringe Science relate to game design:
The idea of able to see how certain things just able to work out itself may not be logical but sometimes magical yet people are able to relate and see it, perhaps in games, we could always create a game which does not necessary need to be similar to other game but a game that is completely unique and different yet is fun to play and understandable, perhaps is time to make a step out from the current genre but think of something new?
