Answer
Isaac Asimov later alienated Campbell because of Campbell's strong interest in pseudoscience. Campbell was a proponent of parapsychology and other fringe science ideas, and he often published stories in Astounding Science Fiction that dealt with these topics. Asimov, on the other hand, was a strong believer in science and logic, and he felt that Campbell's promotion of pseudoscience was harmful to the field of science fiction.
