Pseudoscience is theory or speculation having the trappings of science, and presented as science, but not generally accepted as valid by the mainstream scientific community. The stated reasons for rejection usually relate to failure to follow the scientific method, apparently lack of objectivity, or unwillingness to allow neutral outsiders to observe, test, or replicate findings.

For example, Uri Geller claims to be able to bend spoons without applying pressure to them, but he can't do it in front of scientists or journalists.
