| - | '''Orgone energy''' is a term coined by physician and [[psychoanalyst]] [[Wilhelm Reich]] for the "[[energy (spiritual)|universal life energy]]" that he claimed to have discovered in published [[experiments]] in the late 1930s. Reich claimed that orgone energy was a "[[life energy]]" which filled all space, was blue in color, and that certain forms of illness were the consequence of depletion or blockages of the energy within the body. These claims were and are regarded as "nonsense" and [[pseudoscience]] by scientists, journalists and non-scientists during and after Reich's lifetime. | + | |
