Time Cube is a hypothesis created by Gene Ray, which he publicises on his website of the same name (1). Some of the main attributes of this hypothesis are that time is cubic, that there are four simultaneous 24 hour days in one rotation of the Earth, and that for discovering this, Gene Ray is wiser than all gods and scientists. Time Cube contains some characteristics of a conspiracy theory (such as the belief that "Evil educators suppress student free speech right to debate Cubic Creation."), and has engendered various reactions, including that it may be cranky or absurd.
The Time Cube website
Time Cube's website has become widely imitated and parodied due to its long portions of large-font text in a variety of colors, which some may find to lack coherence. The website purports to explain everything by means of geometrical principles including "4 simultaneous 24 hour days within a single rotation of Earth". It explains that ordinary humans have difficulty understand Time Cube because they "are educated singularity stupid by academic bastards".
Some of the website's statements and claims bear a resemblance to conspiracy theories, and some people view Dr. Ray's writings as sufficiently indecipherable to make it unclear whether they are a hoax.
Time Cube and educators
The website has voluminous and at places inflammatory text alleging the existence of academic and government conspiracies to suppress Time Cube through the school system. The essential claims are:
- "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."
Scientific claims
The Time Cube website makes a number of claims relating to physics and mathematics. Some of these are arguably testable:
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)
Race and religion
There is also a lot of material relating to race and religion, with claims such as the following:
Race-based 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 extract revenge."
- "Racial integration equals 'Racial Slop'."
- "Interracial marriage is stupid and evil."
Religion-based 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."
Impact of the Time Cube hypothesis
Though some view the website incoherent or a deliberately humorous example of absurdism or surrealism, there are others who claim to understand and follow Ray's views. The number and opinions of these believers is indeterminate, and some view it as unclear whether other websites are serious attempts to legitimise the Time Cube theory or subtle parodies.
