Here, read about the burden of proof. Now realize, in this I am not the claimant, I am stating what has already been supported (that orgone has never worked), the burden of proof lies on you, to show that it has worked before. It hasn't, not once, ever. If orgone did work, it would literally change medical science and meteorology as we know it. Has it?
You want proof it doesn't work? Try one for yourself.
Until an orgone device works, my opinion IS fact. But don't count on it, orgonies have had 70 years to prove the efficacy of orgone, how has that worked out for them?edit on 6/15/11 by adeclerk because: (no reason given)

Since when has opinion been synonymous with fact? Nice try. Clearly you have no proof at all that your statement is correct.

Man up and provide the proof you are constantly demanding from others. Where's the scientific evidence you're always asking others to provide to back up their statements?
I'll tell you where it is - you haven't got any.
On December 30, 1940, Reich wrote to Albert Einstein saying he had a scientific discovery he wanted to discuss, and on January 13, 1941 went to visit Einstein in Princeton. They talked for five hours, and Einstein agreed to test an orgone accumulator, which Reich had constructed out of a Faraday cage made of galvanized steel and insulated by wood and paper on the outside.
Einstein agreed that if, as Reich suggested, an object's temperature could be raised without an apparent heating source, it would be a "bombshell" in physics.
Reich supplied Einstein with a small accumulator during their second meeting, and Einstein performed the experiment in his basement, which involved taking the temperature atop, inside, and near the device. He also stripped the device down to its Faraday cage to compare temperatures. In his attempt to replicate Reich's findings, Einstein observed a rise in temperature, which Reich argued was caused by the orgone energy that had accumulated inside the Faraday cage. However, one of Einstein's assistants pointed out that the temperature was lower on the floor than on the ceiling. Following that remark, Einstein modified the experiment and, as a result, concluded that the effect was simply due to the temperature gradient inside the room. He wrote back to Reich, describing his experiments and expressing the hope that Reich would develop a more skeptical approach.
Reich responded with a 25-page letter to Einstein, expressing concern that "convection from the ceiling" would join "air germs" and "Brownian movement" to explain away new findings. The correspondence between Reich and Einstein was published by Reich's press as The Einstein Affair in 1953, possibly without Einstein's permission.

Well, if you're going to play it like that, the proof is in that no orgone device has ever worked, period.
If they did, medical doctors would have to relearn everything they knew. Meteorologists would take note. Tell me why none of that has happened?
I have 70 years of orgone energy devices not working to back my claim.
Funny how you ignore that, but I suppose you're one of those 'sensitives' who can 'feel it' yeah?
Wrong. How about when Einstein tested orgone?

Interesting so far? Here's my favorite part.

Prove it. That's an opinion, if it's a fact as you state show me the proof.

If you think something works, prove it.
It's not for us to prove that fairy dust doesn't prevent moonbeams from eating your pillow.
Alternatively, there's $100,000 if you can prove the elephant trap in my fridge doesn't work. It's been in operation for 15 years and so far not one elephant has broken in to eat my butter .....

I've tried to explain this to wcitizen many, many times. They don't understand the burden of proof, though.

And meteorologists would notice cloud dissipating and find it anomalous? LOL.
This is not even evidence, let alone proof. It's a joke. AC, you give everyone a hard time and you're constantly ridiculing people who put forward exactly this kind of comment.
I'm still asking for you to show me the proof. Where is it?
I have 70 years of orgone energy devices not working to back my claim.

Nice try at trying to turn the tables - but you're the one who is ignoring the request that you back up your alleged facts with proof.
Einstein agreed that if, as Reich suggested, an object's temperature could be raised without an apparent heating source, it would be a "bombshell" in physics.
Link to the data please.
This sums up your attitude totally. This isn't about exploring or learning anything at all for you. It's just like a computer game....which you want to WIN.
That's why I find your posts tedious in the extreme, they contribute nothing of value.

Poisoning the well because doctors don't believe in outlandish remedies? Nice.
Twisting words again, to wriggle out. It is a sad reflection on your intellect that your base line response to any challenge is 'ridicule'.
And meteorologists would notice cloud dissipating and find it anomalous? LOL.
Wait, do cloudbusters bust clouds or make rain? Which are you claiming now?
The proof is in there being not a single instance in which orgone did anything.
This is not a hard concept (well, maybe for those lacking critical thinking skills or understanding the burden of proof).

Is that a serious question? It's like asking me to prove skittles don't heal diabetes.
Keep an open mind, and think critically!

At this point I will stop feeding the troll. If you don't understand logic, it is a lost cause for me to argue with you.
You can tell who is right, though, just compare the stars in posts you've made in reply to me, to the stars on posts I've made in reply to you.

Well, you are entitled to your opinion.
It's funny, you want evidence that orgone doesn't exist (outside of the fact that it's never been demonstrated to :lol,
and yet a long and short form birth certificate aren't evidence of our president being born in these United States. Interesting. It must be nice to be able to change your standards of evidence, and disregard the burden of proof when convenient.
BTW: Send me an orgone device and I'll gladly test it for you and do a writeup!

Show me proof that this statement is true. You keep stating it and stating it as though to keep stating it makes it true, which of course it doesn't. Prove it, is what I keep asking.

Look! over there! (points at the universe), no orgone demonstrations! Can you see any? I can't.
I know that demanding proof for everything someone says, initially seems like a valid and useful discussion technique. In fact it IS valid and useful when used against an extraordinary claim ("I have a unicorn in my pocket", "prove it!")
