 SPIRAL SEA takes its name from the real sea from which we all emerged: the sea of spacetime and other dimensions yet to be fathomed. We who have collaborated to bring SS into being, are aiming for a useful forum in which to explore the universe as we are slowly coming to understand it--at many levels, from the cosmic to the biological to the quantum mechanical to the warped woofery of superstring theory.

In pursuit of this ambitious goal, we have arranged to invite accountants, astronomers, biologists, baseball players, economists, ecdysiasts, fathers, fractalologists, geneticists, gemologists, mathematicians, mothers, photographers, physicists, scientists, sports fans, xerologists, xylophonists, Zambizi descendants, zeitgeist propounders, and all manner of folk in between, to present their thoughts, both factual and fictional, on the general topic of understanding life in the Spiral Sea.

We hope the coming issues will spark your own interest in thinking through the meaning of life to modern humanity, in the light of all that you may have learned from your passage through it thus far. If you are also moved to pen an essay or story to capture your vision for others to enjoy, by all means have at it. And if you are futher moved to send it to us here at Spiral Sea, we await your enlightenment.

 
 
   

This first issue brings together a fairly broad spectrum of minds, in keeping with our intended eclectic approach. C.V. Mobbs is a biochemist and molecular genetics professor in professional life. In real life, he and his wife are raising their young daughter to tolerate her parents' penchant for the thespian world of off-Broadway. ["Way off-Broadway," Charlie urges clarification.] CVM has published in Analog, and about a billion scientific journals [I said "about," Charlie!], regularly assails his friends and aging classmates' ears with insightful discussions on most topics, and is therefore imminently qualified to tackle his current subject

Jack Egan (that name sounds familiar), following Willy Ley's dictum, has had a number of careers, approximately one new one every five to seven years. In this incarnation, he discourses on the application of ill-understood science to social administration in The Politics of Uncerainty and other meanderings.

Paying the bills

As with any enterprise providing a service to its practicioners, Spiral Sea achieves its global presentations through the use of modern technology. In support of making that means available to our authors and artists, we pay the bills--in part through earnings from our Catalog of relevant products and services offered by ourselves, our members, and a select few outside parties. By all means, check it out. The commercial products of a culture tell us much about its spirit and direction.
