This work offers fresh perspectives on the scientific developments of the past 100 years through the complementary work of two of the 20th century's greatest thinkers, Einstein and Freud. At the turn of the last century there was a widespread assumption in scientific circles that the pursuit of knowledge was nearing its end and that all available evidence had been exhausted. By 1916, however, both Einstein and Freud had exploded the myth by leading exploration into the science of the invisible and unconscious, using scientific data that we cannot see. These men were more than just contemporaries - their separate pursuits were in fact complementary. Freud's science of psychoanalysis found its cosmological counterpart in the astronomy of invisible light that Einstein pioneered. Together they questioned the inconsistencies of Newton's ordered cosmos to reveal a different reality, a natural order that was anything but ordered, a cosmos that was volatile and vast - an organism alive in time.
