Good lord, OZONE THERAPY? I used to do analysis of ozone concentrations for aerospace. Ozone is bad, bad, bad for you. Good in the stratosphere, protecting us from UV, bad in your lungs, on your skin, dissolved in your water. Toxic bad. Anyone suggesting otherwise is an idiot. This is just a list of disproven hoaxes, "suppressed" in the paranoid imaginations of the self-deceived inventors. See www.skepdic.com or www.snopes.com for a reality check.

Greek Fire: plausible – perhaps something like napalm under pneumatic pressure
Orgone: misguided — there's no "libido" force, just hormones
Perpetual Motion: impossible — breaks the laws of thermodynamics
Ozone Therapy: carcinogenic — purposely oxidizing your tissues is moronic
Anti-gravity Device: implausible but possible — we don't know enough about gravity
Cold Fusion: if fusion could occur at Earthly (or even much higher) temps, it probably would naturally
Water Fuel Cell: water is the end product of a fuel-cell oxidation process — you need some external source of energy to split water before you can extract that energy by combining hydrogen and oxygen again
Earthquake Machine: plausible on a building scale, or to set off existing faults perhaps, but not to create earthquakes where no faults exist
Flexible Glass: plausible — glass is an amorphous solid, not a crystal, so adding impurities could cause softness
Chronovision: foolish — there's no mechanism by which "the environment" can "record" light and sound

Well, Eric, in the past (1957) they would simply arrest you, burn your books and destroy all of your equipment. If that's not suprressoin, I dont know what is.

and what is wrong with an herbal enema? I find it quite amusing that modern PHD's will tell you to stay out of the sun, when it is scientific fact that the sun is the only natural source of vitamin D, and that EVERY CELL in your body needs Vitamin D to be healthy. Just what is vitamin D, anyway? Accepted science? Why is there no vitamin F, for example? Do a little research. Something is in the air. Breathe deep.

Or it could have been an undiscovered composite material(some sort of crazy alloy perhaps), which would be more likely. Plastic doesn't dent very easily. I highly doubt that taking a hammer to a primitive polymer would fix any dents that it might have. It be more likely to break than be repaired.

Dude, maybe you should learn to type before acting like the know-it-all expert of the universe. Holy crap.
