Gene Ray (born 1927) is the author of several websites, on which he presents writings related to the Time Cube concept, which he claims represents the ineffable truth of the universe. He initially derived this concept from the Earth's four corners of Sunup, Midday, Sundown and Midnight. He explains that these four corners form a harmonic when the Earth rotates once, due to the fact that the sum of the internal angles of a square or other quadrilateral is 360 degrees, which equates to one full rotation; whereas this is not the case for polygons with a different number of corners.
Ray worked as an electrician for several decades prior to creating his "Time Cube" website in August, 1997. Initially he created the site after being banned from several Internet message boards.
Dr. Gene Ray
"Dr." Gene Ray
Ray has stated that his main reason for publicising his discovery on the Internet is to induce a research group to evaluate the Time Cube, and control its release upon the public. He also offers $10,000 to any academic institution or professor who disproves Time Cube. Due to the general attitude that Time Cube is eccentric nonsense, Ray currently poses no threat to academia and the government, entities which he considers evil.
A typical Ray quotation is "Time is CUBIC, not linear as stupid educators teach." Ray has made comments on his sites which some people view as anti-Semitic or racist, however Ray denies any such biases. He says that "Bible's and Science's 1-day Earth rotation are evil scams". Ray has updated his Time Cube site every few weeks for several years, resulting in a single massive page. Although some people view Ray as a crank, others apparently believe that he is really communicating the "Ineffable Cubic Truth of the Universe". Some of these supporters of Time Cube believe Ray to be the greatest thinker and wisest human to ever live on Earth. Ray also proclaimed himself a "Doctor of Cubicism" in December 2002, explaining that universities are too evil to bestow upon him such a prestigious honour of wisdom.
In January 2002, Ray lectured and debated Time Cube with students at MIT. This event was the first such presentation within an academic institution.
