Time Cube is a website created by Gene Ray in 1997, where he sets out his proposed theory of everything, a description of the nature of the universe. The website uses a distinctive combination of colorful large-font text, occasional black-and-white drawings, obscure statements, and unconventional grammar. Its style has been widely parodied, giving rise to an internet phenomenon. The Time Cube concept itself is the proposition that time is cubic, a set of ideas which are generally viewed as cryptic and ill-defined. It is a frequent target of Internet humor. The concept is generally considered to be nonsense and lacking in testable hypotheses. Ray has challenged various authorities to debate the subject, but these challenges have generally been ignored or rejected. Though he is often dismissed as a crank,^[1] Ray is outspoken in defending Time Cube and refers to conspiracy theories in explaining why his ideas are not accepted. Ray uses the word "evil" more than 110 times on his website to describe those who oppose or fail to understand his ideas. He also calls for the killing of not just those who oppose his ideas, but of anyone who is ignorant of them. Ray proclaimed himself a "Doctor of Cubicism" in December 2002. He sometimes uses the title "Dr. Gene Ray - Cubic and Wisest Human". Gene Ray's use of derogatory, racist, and even homicidal remarks regarding academia, religion (particularly Christianity), and ethnicities (e.g. Black and Jewish people) has encouraged further criticism against his website, and made it the subject of numerous parodies and humorous commentary ^[2].

The Time Cube concept

Gene Ray's cryptic style, apparent rejection of basic mathematical concepts, and the lack of published academic research make it difficult to sum up the concept of Time Cube. The following quotation captures both the style of Ray's writing and a major recurring theme of the Time Cube:

“

When the Sun shines upon Earth, 2 - major Time points are created on opposite sides of Earth - known as Midday and Midnight. Where the 2 major Time forces join, synergy creates 2 new minor Time points we recognize as Sunup and Sundown.

The 4-equidistant Time points can be considered as Time Square imprinted upon the circle of Earth. In a single rotation of the Earth sphere, each Time corner point rotates through the other 3-corner Time points, thus creating 16 corners, 96 hours and 4-simultaneous 24 hour Days within a single rotation of Earth - equated to a Higher Order of Life Time Cube.

”

“

Educators are lying bastards. −1 × −1 = +1 is WRONG, it is academic stupidity and is evil.

”

Nevertheless, it appears that the chief claim of Ray's ideas relates to the "simultaneous" existence of four days within a single rotation of Earth and the subsequent inference that the planet itself is not a physical "entity", as its hemispheres actually rotate in opposite directions and cancel out, as antipodes. Other points made on Ray's website include the accusation that all academic establishments are "evil" for not teaching Time Cube and that readers who do not agree or are ignorant of his ideas "deserve death". It is not clear as to whether these ideas should be considered a part of the Time Cube concept, or would be better considered as Ray's personal opinions.

Public debate of the concept

Ray has claimed to offer $10,000 to any academic institution or professor who disproves Time Cube. Many academics have viewed the website as incoherent and not possible to scientifically evaluate, though Humanities Journal of Hsuan Chuang University in Taiwan has published an article about Time Cube. The piece, titled "Proving Human Stupidity: Time Cube, Gnosis, and the Challenge of Radical Cosmology", references Ray in a comparison to the Greek astronomer Hipparchus. ^[3] Ray spoke at MIT, in January 2002, ^[4] and at Georgia Tech, in April 2005.
