A very insightful analysis there, thx.

AI Overview               

Yes, Albert Einstein wrote the foreword for
Charles Hapgood's 1958 book, Earth's Shifting Crust.

Hapgood, an American history professor, proposed the controversial
"Earth crust displacement" theory, which suggested that the entire
outer shell of the Earth can occasionally slip over the inner layers,
causing rapid pole shifts and catastrophic climate changes.

Einstein's
Support

Einstein was heavily intrigued by Hapgood's hypothesis. In one
of his last professional acts before he died in 1955, Einstein
corresponded with Hapgood and agreed to write the book's introductory
foreword. In it, Einstein famously noted: "In any case, it would not be
justified to discard the idea a priori as adventurous," though he added
that his only doubt was whether the Earth's crust could actually move
easily enough over the inner layers.

Legacy

While the theory was largely
dismissed by mainstream geologists at the time (who later embraced
plate tectonics), Einstein's endorsement has kept Hapgood's work highly
popular in alternative history and paleontology circles, and it is
often cited in theories regarding a lost Antarctica. You can read the
original text in the Internet Archive Digital Copy of Earth's Shifting
Crust.
