A few months ago Gene Ray was invited to "debate" the Time Cube at a lecture series at MIT. The event is available for download, if you've got the time/bandwidth:<br /><br /><a href="http://sub-zero.mit.edu/~rhett/" target="_blank">http://sub-zero.mit.edu/~rhett/</a><br /><br />The video and sound quality is not super.<br /><br />I have to confess that I'm a little...well, I don't know, put off, I suppose, by the whole thing. Mr. Ray is a kindly old gentleman who happens to be totally off his rocker. I'm not sure how inviting him to such an event for the sole purpose of laughing at the crazy old man sits with me.<br /><br />Anyway, enjoy. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Balaam Xumucane</b> <br /><small>Member # 419</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,3,17,14,23,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">April 17, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">02:23 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> The links to the clips were refused when I tried ~2:30 US Pacific Time.

Which I would imagine a lot of people do....<br /><br /> The question I have is: Why are you using the names for time of the day.... If you extend <br />your theory out to it's ultimate goal then you do have multiple words, based on each second, <br />or, even each fraction of a second.<br /> How do you deduce only the 4? When each second clicks over, everywhere and everytime?<br /> If there are 86,400 seconds per day wouldn't there be that many worlds??? And that is if we apply our man-made time to nature.....<br /> It seems to me that your theory is flawed, limiting nature as your are.<br />Thank you for your time Gene<br />Jason<br /> <br /> <small>[ April 17, 2002, 14:40: Message edited by: Ritten ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Sol System</b> <br /><small>Member # 30</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,3,17,14,44,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">April 17, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">02:44 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> It seems to me that, at this point, attempting to logically explain why the Time Cube is...unworkable is a vast waste of time, and not really the point anyway. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Ritten</b> <br /><small>Member # 417</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,3,17,15,12,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">April 17, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">03:12 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> This is true, but I am fiddling around a little.....
