Mainstream science
Mainstream science is scientific inquiry in an established field of study that does not depart significantly from orthodox theories. In the philosophy of science, mainstream science is an area of scientific endeavor that has left the process of becoming established.
Alternative science
Alternative sciences are seen as supplanting or substituting the current models that dominate science. They assume the hegemony of modem western science that is seen as both 'the best' and the most dominant form of knowl- edge.

-->Is there a difference between mainstream science and alternative science?
Yes,
- science and pseudoscience are polar opposites.
- The ultimate mission of science is to discover facts about the physical universe, no matter how complicated, disheartening, or unexpected those facts may be.
- In contrast, the ultimate mission of pseudoscience is to reject physical facts in order to promote ideas that are not consistent with reality.
- Pseudoscience is inherently dishonest and deceptive because it claims the mantle of science while rejecting scientific methods and contradicting scientific facts.
- Pseudoscience can take on many forms including astrology, free-energy devices, ufology, fad diets, crystal healing, laundry balls, and magnet therapy.
- Sadly, pseudoscience is all too prevalent, even in the aisles of mainstream drugstores and bookstores.
