    Though they met just once, and even then didnat know what to make of each otheras work, Einstein and Freud had more in common than they might have imagined. Each ran out of evidence using the traditional scientific methods that had worked well since the dawn of the scientific revolution and each adopted new scientific methods that opened up unprecedented intellectual landscapesarelativity in Einsteinas case, the unconscious in Freudas. In this brilliant, elegant book, renowned science writer Richard Panek traces the creation of two new sciencesacosmology and psychoanalysisathat have allowed us for more than a hundred years to explore previously unimaginable universes without and within.
