English Dictionary

protoscience

名詞

An unscientific or pseudoscientific field of study which later becomes a science (e.g. astrology becoming astronomy and alchemy becoming chemistry).

日本語の意味

非科学的または疑似科学的な学問分野で、後に正当な科学として認識される可能性がある領域。例として、占星術が天文学に、錬金術が化学に発展する場合が挙げられる。

Although many dismissed astrology and alchemy as mere protoscience, their observations eventually led to the development of astronomy and chemistry.

多くの人は占星術や錬金術を未だ科学的でない、後に科学へと発展する学問分野として軽視したが、それらの観察は最終的に天文学や化学の発展につながった。

意味（1）

An unscientific or pseudoscientific field of study which later becomes a science (e.g. astrology becoming astronomy and alchemy becoming chemistry).

意味（2）

A field of study at the initial phase of the scientific method, involving information gathering and hypothesis formulation, but is not yet falsifiable, or if it is, its predictions have not yet been observed.

However, observation alone is not modern science; simple observation leads to proto-science. Proto-science accepts observations without question or verification.
