      Stephen Hawking once threw a time travelers party but only published the information afterwards. Nobody showed up.

      I know this kinda sounds like a joke but it’s a real thing he did.

        It’s weird to think that they would show up.

        The earth is here for likely trillions and trillions of years. 2008 or whenever is like a spec in a sea of time. And probably not very interesting

          Because if he didn’t then they couldn’t.

          But what if they did show up, then afterwards he chose not to publish the information?

        While I greatly respect(ed) Stephen Hawking, if I could time travel, going to his party would not be anywhere near the top of my list.

            A lot of people were there in the Epstein list, including many who didn’t really have anything to do with his island. What would Hawking have done, molested girls with his single functioning cheek muscle?
