E.M. Rauch was an individual who was associated with the quote:
- "The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen all at once."
This quote later appeared on the dedication plaque of the 29th century timeship Relativity. (VOY: "Relativity")
This may be a reference to Earl Mac Rauch, writer of the film The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension!. In actuality, the quote is considered to have come from Albert Einstein.
