Sacred Science
It seems to me that the science that Viktor Schauberger (for instance) was discovering and developing was a science of the sacred, a science that acknowledged the sacred and a science that was in harmony with the sacred.
The old view that no good comes from that which is stolen - is thus one of the Laws of Nature, in the same way that (for instance) Boyles Law is,

Those who have described such Laws (like "do not steal") are thus doing no differently than someone putting up a sign which says "Beware of the Drop" by a cliff edge.
The notion that certain technologies will only work when those things which are considered Moral (Laws of Nature such as indicated in the Eightfold Path or the Ten Commandments) are being adhered to, perhaps seems absurd to most scientists? However the notion that the Newtonian description of how Space/Time operates was incomplete probably seemed absurd to most scientists, that is until Einstein and Planck came along.
Viktor Schauberger himself regarded morality as a vital factor in technology, and he drew on the work of Goethe to show how this might work.
Perhaps, like those scientists at the end of the 19th century who thought all major questions had been answered and it was now just a matter of tying up the loose ends, contemporary science may itself discover that it has barely scratched the surface of what there is to learn?
Addendum: The Nazi`s got one thing right - Viktor Schauberger`s work was worth backing. However the methods they imposed on him (use of slave labour) and the purposes they intended for the results of his work, were so contrary to the Laws of Nature (Laws such as thou shalt not covet another - eg do not seek to own another, and of course "thou shalt not kill") that there was no possibility his work would produce results for them.
