The Invisible CenturyEssay Preview: The Invisible CenturyReport this essayThe Invisible CenturyAlbert Einstein and Sigmund Freud were undoubtedly the two most influential thinkers of the 20th century. Only meeting once, they both traveled parallel journeys of discovery that altered forever our understanding of the very nature of reality. After years of acute observation, thought experimentation, and intuitive theory building, Einstein traveled to the relativistic outer universe and Freud the unconscious inner-universe. Their imaginative leaps took them to places where most of their contemporaries did not think or dare to venture. Experimental findings soon began to confirm many of Einsteins theories, ultimately establishing the revolutionary status of his work. Freuds psychoanalytic therapy was becoming widely accepted through his proven patient experiences and case studies.

“This book is so rich in ideas and insights and, thus, must be of great value for those who want a very comprehensive overview of the historical and modern origins of the ideas and practice of Einsteins psychoanalytic psychotherapy,” commented Dr. Daniel D’Ancona, Professor of Philosophy, University of Pennsylvania School of Philosophy and director of the Center for Social Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. The “Essay Preview” offers the only full-color look at Albert Einstein’s work and shows that Einstein was no less a pioneer than Freud and Sigmund Freud.
“A fascinating and compelling book,” said Dr. James T. Hirsch, Dean of the Institute of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania College of Art and Communication. “If you are a person who lives in the 1950’s, when the term Einsteins psychoneurology came around, this book is a very special treat for you. It also puts Einstein and Freud into perspective and makes clear how their views and work, especially those of this day, influence their lives today.”
“I would highly encourage anyone interested in studying this subject to look through the original archives of Einstein’s works. The book is very readable, a lot of material, and I highly recommend trying it out of the collection.”
“…The work I admire most here in the U.S.A. [sic] was first published in 1960 at the CUPA/UCI College of Medicine, in New York University; it contains and presents numerous lectures and works of Einsteins psychoneurology, such as the book and lectures that are listed below. It is also the first book I have yet read that dealt with Einsteins psychoneurology.” “I have an interest and appreciation for the field of Einsteins psychoneurology, and highly recommend this book, especially as it covers Einsteins psychoneurology well beyond their everyday routines. It is an extremely refreshing read, and I look forward to reading it on the upcoming book tour. Also, the title of the book, The Invisible Century, is probably the best description of this subject I have ever read and enjoyed. “This book is so rich in ideas and insights and, thus, must be of great value for those who want a very comprehensive overview of the historical and modern origins of the ideas and practice of Einsteins psychoanalytic psychotherapy,” commented Dr. Daniel D’Ancona, Professor of Philosophy, University of Pennsylvania School of Philosophy and director of the Center for Social Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania.

This is not as good an introduction as I have used to try to describe Einstein’s work and present it in a proper way.” “This book is so rich in ideas and insights and, thus “must be of good value for those who want a very comprehensive overview of the historical and modern origins of the ideas and practice of Einsteins psychoanalytic psychotherapy,” commented Dr. Daniel D’Ancona, Professor of Philosophy, University of Pennsylvania School of Philosophy and director of the Center for Social Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. “The “Essay Preview” presents the only full-color look at Albert Einstein’s work and
Einstein developed the theory of general relativity and challenged the existing paradigm of classical physics. Einstein discovered the relationships previously hidden from our senses or naked-eye. Einsteins faith remained in mathematics. It motivated him to move forward with his research, even if no physical evidence existed. Without the physical evidence to predict the irregularities in the motions of the heavens, Einstein took a leap of faith into the invisible outer universe to predict the phenomena of bent light and curved space. In November 1919, his theory was proven when the announcement of the eclipse was confirmed with existence of bent light and curved space. This new theory on gravity created a new science called cosmology.
Freuds studies started in a laboratory research environment. The research involved searching for the connection from the brain to the mind. Due to the lack of evidence, Freud diverted his attention from neurology to psychology in order to identify what he describes as the “causes behind effects.” Freud decided to venture into the invisible inner-universe and changed his studies to the unconscious of the mind.
