Colvin science was a question that claimed to fill part of a science distribution, but that was fraudulently answered by players who know nothing about science. It was named for Matt Colvin.
The presence of these materials in a "science" question will usually identify it as Colvin science:
- biographical clues about scientists
- taxonomy
- the geologic time scale
- clues about Greek and Latin roots privileged over clues about actual science
- pseudosciences and antisciences, such as creationism, Velikovskyism, and cryptozoology
