The Time cube is a concept promoted by Gene Ray on his Time Cube website, postulating that time is somehow cubic or four-cornered. It is unclear how his ideas relate to any established concept of time. As there are no testable hypotheses or predictions associated to the "time cube", it is not scientifically investigable. It must therefore be considered a speculative belief with little relation to physics or science in general.
Nature's Harmonic Simultaneous 4-Day Time Cube
Supremacy of four
Gene Ray states on that "4 is the supreme number of the universe" and frequently divides continuums into four classes, much like the Greeks did with the the four humours and the four elements. These classes are called corners. There are several sets of corners mentioned :
- Four corners of complexion are black, white, Asian, and Indian
- Four corners/stages/lives of a person's lifetime (family time ages) are baby, child, parent, and grandparent
- Four corners of a person's head are the face, two ears, and back of the head
- Four corners of the earth are four arbitrary quadrants
- Four corners of the day are midnight, 6 AM, noon, and 6 PM
- Four corners of the year are the four seasons
4-day
Every rotation of the earth, each of the four quadrants will experience a different style of day. One will start and end at night, one will start and end in the morning, one will start and end in midday, one will start and end in the evening. Since these styles are different, he says there are four different days in a 24 hour period.
He says "infinite days is stupidity", showing that he believes that the Earth is divided into precisely four classes of location, rather than a continuum of locations. He also calls the universal Greenwich Mean Time standard evil because it represents only one style of day. Anything associated with those who adhere to the standard is derisively referred to as "1-day", rather than "4-day".
He says that each corner of the earth experiences the four corners of the day. So, that's a total of sixteen corners experienced by humanity during every rotation of the earth.
4-year
He says that because the four corners of the earth each experience the year differently (one starts on midnight and ends on midnight, &c.), that there are also four years for every revolution of the earth around the sun.
He also shows another way of deducing four years per revolution around the sun. He makes the false claims that the four seasons are occurring simultaneously at different points on the earth and that the earth therefore travels four times the distance of a planet that doesn't have a tilted axis.
People are 1-cornered
A human lifetime is divided into four corners. He says that, at any given point in time, a person is one-cornered (imperfect) instead of four-cornered (perfect) because their perspective is based on experience, and their experience is based on which stage of life they are in. A person's age is not on a continuum; instead, when a person advances to the next corner of their lifetime, their old corner dies.
4/16 time cube
The combination of the four corners of the day and the four stages of a person's life is referred to as the 4/16 time cube.
Humanity as a whole
He also separates humanity into two "sex poles", male and female, and the four corners of complexion. Like other divisions into four, he allows no mixture of classes; in this case, he stands against interracial sex.
According to him (on AboveGod.com), "If the 4 racial components of 2 sex pole hemispheres agreed to a cubing of the sphere as a spiritual unity, heavenly music of cubed sphere could be audible on Earth simultaneously to every human ear, not discord, but harmony." It appears that he doesn't believe that one race is supreme, but he does believe they should be separate. "Cubing the sphere" apparently means to separate the spherical world into four quadrants (the sides of the cube) and two poles (the top and bottom of the cube).
He also correlates his four races with the four corners of the day based on the lightness or darkness in each :
- "The simultaneous 4 human races debunks a God for any race.
- Sunup represents Indian Race
- Midday represents White Race
- Sundown represents Asian Race
- Midnight represents Black Race"
Words are evil
He constantly excoriates words, usually in connection with teachers using them to teach contrary theories and to suppress the expression of time cube theory. He also appears to believe that words are inadequate to describe his theory.
