The Controversial Life of the Man Behind Orgone, Part 1 - Mysterious Universe

We have a two part report from Nick Redfern on the Wilhelm Reich story. Part one discusses the childhood and background of the source of this welcome strangeness, Wilhelm Reich, who would go on to develop a theory around the existence of a substance he named Orgone. In a case of  Quantum-Physics-Meets-Tantric-Coupling, Reich theorized that Orgone was a sexual energy or life force that permeated the universe. So far so good, right? The Controversial Life of the Man Behind Orgone, Part 2 is where this theory may have gone off the rails, or at least garnered some less than positive attention. Seems Reich believed the Orgone distributed throughout the cosmos could be collected in a box--an Orgone box. Reich speculated that this accumulated contents of the box could then be used for therapeutic purposes, essentially imparting life energy to a person not unlike charging a battery. The FDA declared this quackery and so began a series of events that landed Reich in jail where he eventually passed away, without seeing serious scientific consideration of his work. (CM)
