The workings of woo
December 9, 2014 at 10:57 am
There are times that I have witnessed the wonderful ways of woo. Of course there are some explanations like confirmation bias, coincidence, hallucinations, hoaxes, etc.

What would be the definition of woo if it existed?
How can woo exist and elude scientific investigation?
...

I don't understand physics, but sometimes I think about those questions. Does anybody have any ideas?
