This guy is joking, right? Is he?

Umm...he's not?

#332: Gene Ray

Gene Ray is a legend. He is clearly not entirely stable, but is such a prominent feature on the Internet that he must be included here. He is most famous for inventing the Time Cube Theory, and even put up the legendary Time Cube website back in 1997.

What is the time cube theory? It is a little hard to say, but it has something to do with the world passing through four simultaneous days in the course of a day. The reason we don’t believe Ray is correct, is because our educational system is a conspiracy to make us stupid. Ray knows. He is the wisest person in the universe – at least he repeatedly asserts so on his websites and when “explaining” the hypothesis (often instead of explaining the hypothesis, in fact). Let’s give it a shot: time is cubic. The fundamental observation is that the Earth has four corners that sweep through four simultaneous days, defined as "sun up" (representing “the indian race”), "midday" (representing “the white race”), "sun down" (representing “the asian race”) and "midnight" (representing “the black race”). The midday and midnight are known as the "major" time points, while sun up and sun down are the "minor" time points, created where the major opposing forces meet. These points are occupied by Socrates, Jesus, Einstein and Clinton. Ray also seems to claim that the opposite hemispheres of the Earth are rotating in opposite directions (which is an interesting claim, though not because it is likely to be true). The opposition between them accordingly entails “zero existence”.

At least everyone in that little upstate private "school" that I went to knew it.

It reminds me a bit of Jared Loughner's writings. It's just a collection of random words that make sense to him, but nobody else.

I hope he gets help for his condition.
