About the author of Timecube
Dr. Otis Eugene "Gene" Ray (1927–2015) was a former electrician and inventor who actively promoted the game of marbles. Sometime after losing his own, he created the idea and the website for Time Cube in August 1997. He proclaimed himself a Doctor of Cubism and Wisest Human in December 2002 and careened steadily downhill from then on.
Unfortunately, Gene Ray was anti-Semitic, homophobic, racist, and many of these racist tirades were visible on the site. On this same website, he promised $10,000 to Wikipedia, or the first academic or just anyone who could refute the Time Cube theory, citing the wager at least 6 times on the main page. He was, of course, the only judge for that particular wager.
His views were also consistent in his many video appearances discussing the Time Cube. He spoke with the same incoherency displayed in his writing.
Ray's sites went offline over July and August 2015; in 2010 he said he was 82 with cancer. Ray died in 2015 at the age of 87. However, the domain registration for timecube.com was renewed on 9 September 2015 under the name of a certain "Gene Ray", ensuring—at least at the time—that the world could know the proclamations of The Wisest Man on Earth.
