International Space Sciences Organization Formed.

LOS GATOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 1998--The International Space Sciences Organization (ISSO), a new research institute dedicated to the study and application of emerging principles in physical sciences related to the "quantum vacuum" of spacetime, announced today that it will be officially launched on Nov. 25, 1998.

The launch will coincide with the publication on the Internet of a book hypothesizing a unifying perspective on science, world history and religion as a framework for using new technologies derived from emerging scientific knowledge.

As a private research institute, ISSO has a growing staff of scientists to pursue its agenda. "Any physicist who has been keeping up with the literature concerning our rapidly expanding understanding of the nature of the quantum vacuum cannot help but be awestruck at the implications of this line of research," said Joseph Firmage, whose philanthropic interests in the subject have helped to fund and launch the organization.

"If some of the ideas that ISSO is studying turn out to be correct, our perception of how the cosmos works, and perhaps our ability to engineer it, will significantly shift. Certainly our self-perception will expand. The book will represent a unique synthesis of realms of science and concepts evident in history that remain unfamiliar to most people today."

Firmage currently has no responsibilities in the organization, but will launch the organization with the release of the book, which he has edited and co-written over the past year.
