Misinformation & Debunking
Astrophyzix.com actively examines claims related to UFOs, alien technology, fringe physics, viral science misinformation, and misrepresented research. Debunking content focuses on verifiable data, methodological flaws, and established scientific context rather than personal attacks or ridicule.
