i have heard Cronin on podcast … imo he has serious theories but makes some elliptic claims wrt the nature of time

best recent listen for me was Sean Carroll Mindscape on the emergence of time

i guess that the truth is some combination of both

So, time is not a cube?

Slightly more seriously though, It's hard for me to tell if this is a serious theory, or timecube level stuff?

At face value, I think I agree -- especially the format of the website being in a sort of hand-designed style.

"Assembly Theory" is a sort of applying (kolmogorov-esque) complexity theory to physics and other natural sciences. I don't know much else beyond that it's a "real thing".

So with that extra background, I give it a pass. I think it's an interesting idea at least.
