Quantum theory, for example, has been validated millions of times. Such as, every time some one turns on a television.

Not sure about quantum theory and tv's mack, but I know that life-force energy is validated a million times a day too - every time you look in the mirror, look at a tree, pat your cat for example. That's what I hoped people would glean from the quote I posted above;

How many interesting facts fail to be converted into fertile discoveries because their first observers regard them as natural and ordinary things! .... It is strange to see how the populace, which nourishes its imagination with tales of witches or saints, mysterious events and extraordinary occurrences, disdains the world around it as commonplace, monotonous and prosaic, without suspecting that at bottom it is all secret, mystery, and marvel.

- Santiago Ramon y Cajal (1852-1934)
