What are the types of pseudoscience?

Answer:
There are quite a few that are out there both in literary sources as well as in real life.
Without diving into a shouting match between proponents I'll give a few popular fictional pseudosciences:
  • Temporal Mechanics (Time Travel)
  • Warp Engineering (Popular Faster-Then-Light Travel)
  • Psychic Engineering (Building Mental Constructs such as Telepathic Blocks)
  • Planetologist (Keynes from Dune, involves terraforming whole planets and establishing new ecosystems on planets.)
  • Robotologist (Building artificial life forms and Artifical Intelligence)
  • Xeno\Exo biologist (Study alien (off world) life forms)
  • Solar Engineer (Omega from Doctor Who was a Solar Engineer)

From the real world for a few, non-inflammitory sciences that came and went:
  • Phernology (Studying bumps on the head)
  • Eugenics (The science of breeding superior humans. Dangerously close to making a comback with gene therapy.)
  • Freudian Psycology (where everything seemed to involve sex at some point. Absorbed into modern psychology).
  • Greek Alchemy (Fire, Earth, Air, and Water made up the universe.)
