This is a list of speculative, fringe or otherwise disregarded theories in science. Note that idiosyncratic theories, or theories with an extremely small base of followers, are not encyclopedic and should not be included.
- Cold fusion - Consideered by some as a pathological science; there are 2 types though (see article).
- Dynamic theory of gravity - Critique on Einstein's work considered to exceed the bounds of reason by the scientific establishment.
- Hidden variable theory - Maintaining underlying a level of indeterminacy there is an objective foundation; urged by a handful of physicists.
- Hollow Earth - Ridiculed and contradicted by substantial evidence and dismissed as pseudoscience.
- Luminiferous aether - Few modern proponents; mysticism appeal draws pseudoscientific proponents; intuitive appeal protoscience proponents; conservative history draws classical field proponents.
- Orgone energy - Seen as mystic pseudoscience by some; "Reichian Therapy"; based on orgone energy.
- Plasma cosmology - Alternative cosmology to the Big Bang cosmology.
- Quaternion physics - Maxwell's Quaternionic Electromagnetism and Compressible Elastic Aether.
- Reciprocal System of Theory - Advocates to be a theoretical framework capable of comprehensively explaining all physical phenomena from subatomic particles to galactic clusters.
- Steady state theory - Developed in 1949 by Fred Hoyle and others as an alternative to the Big Bang theory.
- Superficial anatomy - Superficial anatomy are to show, first, the form and proportions of the human body and, second, the surface landmarks which correspond to deeper structures hidden from view.
