Public Reaction
Ray spoke about Time Cube at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in January 2002 as part of the Independent Activities Period, a student-organized extra-curricular event. He repeated his $10,000 offer for professors to disprove his theories at the event; none attempted it.
Asked by Martin Sargent in 2003 how it felt to be an Internet celebrity, Ray stated that it was not a position he wanted, but something he felt he had to do as "no writer or speaker understands the Time Cube". Ray also spoke about Time Cube at the Georgia Institute of Technology in April 2005, in a speech in which he attacked the instruction offered by academics.
A 2004 editorial in The Maine Campus student newspaper remarked upon the site's "subtle little racist ideologies" which culminate in Ray describing racial integration as "destroying all of the races".
In 2005, Brett Hanover made Above God, a short documentary film about Ray and Time Cube, which won awards for Best Documentary at the Indie Memphis Film Festival and the Atlanta Underground Film Festival.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or reaction:
“A public man must never forget that he loses his usefulness when he as an individual, rather than his policy, becomes the issue.”
—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
“Christianity was only a very strong and singularly well-timed Salvation Army movement that happened to receive help from an unusual and highly dramatic incident. It was a Puritan reaction in an age when, no doubt, a Puritan reaction was much wanted; but like all sudden violent reactions, it soon wanted reacting against.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
