The layout and writing style of the Time Cube website.

Nature's Harmonic Simultaneous 4-Day Time Cube is a theory centred around the proposition that time is cubic. Viewed by some as a cryptic concept, it has become a frequent target of Internet humor. Time Cube was formulated by Gene Ray. Ray claims that within Time Cube, there is proof of the existence of four simultaneous 24-hour days in one rotation of the Earth. He also asserts that Time Cube is the Theory of Everything. Ray has challenged newspapers and academics to debate the subject, though most reject Time Cube, for reasons such as considering it to be nonsense or absurdism, or to lack testable hypotheses.

One of Time Cube's research sites (CubicAO) contains reference now to Metatrons Cube, though the basic Time Cube theory arguably only relates to Metatron's cube inasmuch as they both pertain to the Cube geometrical figure. Time Cube is not to be confused with religious notions that may have been associated with Metatron's Cube.

Ray's website promoting Time Cube as a theory of everything (timecube.com) started gaining notoriety in 1997. It uses a distinctive combination of simple drawings, colorful large-font text, obscure statements and curious syntax. It has been widely parodied. Some of the writing explains the Time Cube theory, while other parts of it expound upon sociological ramifications of Time Cube, and in doing so denigrate and threaten the so-called "1-corner Cubeless singularitists" who are opposed to Nature's Time Cube.

Though he is dismissed as a crank, Ray is outspoken in defending Time Cube and refers to conspiracy theories in explaining why his ideas are not accepted. Because the academic establishment has paid little attention to the theory, he has proclaimed himself a "Doctor of Cubicism" in December 2002—and sometimes goes by the title Dr. Gene Ray - Wisest Human on Earth. Followers of Time Cube are known as "Cubicists" or "Cubics".

The Time Cube theory

In August of 1997, Ray created his well-known website to publicize a theoretical link between cubes and time. On the site, there are a number of claims relating to physics and mathematics, some of which can arguably be tested.

It is difficult to separate the scientific component of Time Cube from Gene's personal philosophies: for instance, some may view his statements on race and religion to contain prejudice. The site has voluminous text alleging the existence of conspiracies to suppress Time Cube, and many inflammatory remarks are directed at the government, the school system, and critics of Ray in general.

General claims

  • " 4 simultaneous 24 hour days within a single rotation of Earth."
  • "Humans are Cubic forms that rotate a 4 corner face lifetime."
  • "Creation has 2 sex poles and 4 corner races of humans."
  • "All the universe exist as opposite values."
  • " wiser than all gods and scientists."

Physics Claims

  • "Earth 2 opposite hemispheres rotating in opposite directions."
  • "Time is Cubic and not linear."
  • "Earth composed of 4 Worlds."
  • "Earth is not an entity."
  • "Planets created via opposite rotating poles."

Mathematical claims

  • "-1 x -1=+1 is stupid and evil."
  • "3.20 the perfect value of π."
  • " squared the circle." (see Squaring the circle)
  • 4 is the supreme number of the universe.

Education claims

  • "Teachers are hired evil word pedants who enslave childish minds to a lifetime stupidity."
  • "Educators are the primary cause of evil mathematics."
  • "Physicists forbidden to acknowledge Time Cube."
  • "Schools are actually churches."
  • "Singularity educators are unfit to even live."
  • "Your own people will kill you to prevent this 'Forbidden Truth Cube' from ever being known."

Racial claims

  • "Sunup represents Indian Race; Midday represents White Race; Sundown represents Asian Race; Midnight represents Black Race."
  • "All past Great Civilizations have been destroyed by minorities."
  • "Blacks are enslaving whites - and will soon exact revenge."
  • "Racial integration equals 'Racial Slop'."
  • "Interracial marriage is stupid and evil."

Religious claims

  • "Time Cube disproves God."
  • "Christianity is subservient to the Jews."
  • " worship of Word as God equates to adults eating their children."
  • "The male god singularity and same sex trinity equates denouncing motherhood and supporting a state of queers."

Misplaced Pages claims

  • "Misplaced Pages allowing the educated stupid to evaluate the 4 simultaneous 24 hr. days within a single rotation of Earth, equates allowing atheist to proof-read the bible. Dr. Gene Ray --- is the only authoritative Time Cube expert, at www.timecube.com."
  • "Dr. Gene Ray offers Misplaced Pages $10,000.00 to disprove math that 1 rotation of 4 Earth quadrants within the 4 quarter Harmonic Time Cube does create 4 simultaneous 24 hr. days. Both Americans & Misplaced Pages are evil to deny or ignore Cubic Creation. Is Misplaced Pages a Singularity Brotherhood controlled Trojan Horse indoctrination - that edits Time Cube to a negative view? Who edits the Time Cube on Misplaced Pages? It is evil for Coryoth to edit Time Cube (). Will I get a reply or will the Wisest Human just be ignored until silenced by death?"

Public debate of the theory

File:Time cube mit 2002.jpg
Ray (highlighted) debates Time Cube with university students at MIT in January 2002.

There are some who claim to understand and follow Ray's views. The specific number of actual believers is unknown, as websites and internet posts that attempt to elaborate on the theory are often intended as subtle parodies. A few people suspect that even Ray himself is insincere and intends Time Cube as a hoax, but he has never indicated that this is the case. Some speculators have suggested that vehement Cube-supporters on bulletin boards and elsewhere are sock-puppets of Gene Ray.

Ray has claimed to offer $10,000 to any academic institution or professor who disproves Time Cube. Nearly all academics view 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 compares Ray to the visionary astronomer Hipparchus, and is titled "Proving Human Stupidity: Time Cube, Gnosis, and the Challenge of Radical Cosmology".

In the Spring of 1999, Gene was invited by several Georgia Tech students to visit and present his ideas. This was Gene's first presentation within an academic institution, though it received no publicity. In January of 2002, Gene lectured and debated Time Cube with students at MIT. Advance advertising for the event included posters with quotations declaring it to be "the Holy Grail of Physics", and the event filled one of MIT's largest lecture halls (10-250). This was his first highly publicized presentation. Ray later spoke again at Georgia Tech in April of 2005.
