Wilhelm Reich was a crackpot psychiatrist of the 1950s with a theory about energy from outer space called orgone that could be captured and infused into a patient.
That would enable physicists to see whether the number of high-energy positrons matches the theory's expectation and thus, appropriately, use shadows to cast light on the existence of dark matter.

Amin Karami, an aerospace engineering research fellow, presented data at the American Heart Association annual conference in November showing an experimental energy harvester can convert the energy from the beating of a heart into enough usable electrical energy to, in theory, operate a pacemaker.
In theory, dark energy should also manifest itself experientially in the laboratory.
Acupuncture: An ancient Chinese art based on the theory that Qi energy flows along meridians in the body, and can be stimulated by inserting fine needles at specific points.

Einstein's special relativity theory that says energy equals mass times the speed of light squared underlies "pretty much everything in modern physics, " said John Ellis, a theoretical physicist at CERN who was not involved in the experiment.
In 1900, Max Planck first published his Quantum Theory, that radiant energy comes in small indivisible packets and was not continuous as previously thought.
When calculating the amount of dark energy in the universe, the current theory produces an estimate that is off by by 10120.

Einstein's theory holds that matter and energy distort space, and massive bodies such as planets and stars travel in this warped space.
The lion's share of access to Titan in the coming year will come from the Department of Energy's Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment program, better known as INCITE.
ENGADGET: Cray's Jaguar supercomputer upgraded with NVIDIA Tesla GPUs, renamed Titan
The theory proposes that a so-called Higgs energy field exists everywhere in the universe.
This observation led to the theory that some mysterious, gravitationally repulsive dark energy must be behind the rising expansion of the cosmos - although we don't really have the foggiest idea what that is.
Both theory and previous observations suggest there is more dark energy than dark matter, and more dark matter than normal matter.
It bears noting that externality theory in economics includes both negatives and positives: supplying energy permits untold and profound benefits.
In traditional Chinese medical theory, the core concept is the qi, the vital energy that is believed to circulate throughout the body.
One theory that could be explored is that the nature of dark energy, which scientists think is causing the accelerated expansion of the universe, is different from the simplest human-calculated models.
If the theory of man caused global warming is correct, then the energy escaping back out should be less than the energy entering, as the greenhouse gases capture some of the energy in the atmosphere.
FORBES: Fakegate: The Obnoxious Fabrication of Global Warming
What sounds so simple in theory--opening offshore areas to increase oil production for the energy-price-shocked U.S. populace--turns out to be incredibly complex.
In 1919 German physicist Albert Betz published a theory that no turbine can capture more than 60 percent of the kinetic energy in wind.
In theory, next year Spain and Portugal will indeed start to become a single energy market.
Wedge theory, the idea that the world should pursue many different solutions energy efficiency retrofits, renewable energy, appliance standards means that a large number and variety of organizations are needed.

The theory is that the brain is pre-programmed to encourage us to eat high-energy foods in order to give us the best chance of survival.
One theory is that the body responds to relatively long gaps between meals by becoming highly efficient at storing up energy whereas a routine of regular meals encourages a more steady metabolism.
