Examines the careers of Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud, looking at them as pioneers who took research to the next level of scientific data--evidence that cannot be seen--and so founded the fields of cosmology and psychoanalysis.

Chronicles the history of the telescope, profiles the people who have participated in its development, and discusses how it has influenced the study of the universe.
