Astrology, although some defend it as a science
History of João Neves - Paraiba, Brasil
Astrology, although some defend it as a science, is not recognized as such by the scientific community. It is based on the idea that events on Earth are linked to planetary movements at the time of birth, influencing characteristics and destinies. However, the lack of consensus on how this relationship occurs and the absence of scientific foundations are critical points. Statistical studies, such as those by Michel Gauquelin, are cited by astrologers but remain questionable. The validity of astrology is challenged in cases of identical twins, and the lack of falsifiability in astrological claims is a concern. Physicist Stephen Hawking points to incompatibility with established scientific theories as the central reason for the rejection of astrology by most scientists.
