The metaphorical use of " cargo cult " was popularized by physicist Richard Feynman at a 1974 Caltech commencement speech, which later became a chapter in his book Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman !, where he coined the phrase " cargo cult science " to describe science that had some of the trappings of real science ( such as publication in scientific journals ) but lacked a basis in honest experimentation.

Cargo cult science refers to practices that have the semblance of being scientific, but do not in fact follow the scientific method The term was first used by the physicist Richard Feynman during his commencement address at the California Institute of Technology, United States, in 1974.
