Just because the majority of the world believes something, it does not automatically make it correct. Not too long ago everyone believed witchcraft existed.
...
Indeed, even Physics has its unproven pseudosciences:
Dark Energy
Dark Matter
Exotic Matter
...
MACHO
...
This is a very telling assertion. It shows how anything Tom Bishop does not understand is Pseudo Science! No real physicist
declares that dark energy or dark matter exist. Real physicists show that there is a big contradiction in current knowledge about forces at the galactic range of distances. Several
hypothesis are being considered, including the four above, to help in the search of the real answer. Only those who do not understand the scientific method fail to see the difference between a
tentative hypothesis, and a
pseudoscience that declares something as fact with no good evidence whatsoever.
Your list indiscriminately mixes solid theories with good evidence to support them, tentative hypothesis with a hint of indirect evidence, and pure quackery.
Let's see how a real scientist thinks, looking into the Dark Matter hypothesis, which states:
Our measurements of the amount of matter in a galaxy do not fit our expectations of the speed of rotation and gravity forces in the galaxy. If there was a large amount of previously undetected matter in every galaxy, that would explain the contradiction. Therefore we should look for undetected matter. If that matter is ever found, this hypothesis will become a theory.
Please note that this is the statement of a perceived contradiction, not the statement of a proven fact.
