Legend

Yeah, but if I was a time traveller and knew about the party, I would probably also know it was a trap, right? Why would I walk into the trap?

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 51 points 8 months ago

Because you get to meet Stephen Hawking

[-] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 38 points 8 months ago

… and you convince him not to tell anyone you showed up.

Rumors say it was a kids party

"Hey nice time machine, wanna go to Stephen Hawking's time traveller party?"

"Naw, I heard that shit was lame and nobody showed up. Let's go shoot JFK again."

I would love to have the ability to see what other realities exists. One where Hitler didn't rise to power, or where Trump wasn't born, or where Musk failed all his projects and became a better person because of it.

Not to mention setting up the Evil Baby Orphanage for all the mustache men and orange toupees of the multiverse.

Hitler became the leader of a movement, but he wasn't the one to start it. After ww1's peace treaties a second war was basically unavoidable, even if national socialism wasn't a thing.

If you really want to change the tides of history you have to start earlier, prevent a movement when it's forming instead of killing its leader.

There's no way he'd know that he'd be outed posthumously as an Epstein Island visitor, and thus no one in the future would want to go meet him in the past.

I'd say that means time travel is still possible!

Wait what?

He was mentioned in a 2015 email but the allegations that led to the email haven't been released in full and so it's entirely possible that it was said to discredit the accuser, and the pictures meant to show him "at an underage orgy" are from a not poorly-attended science conference which I'd expect would be too big to keep anything shady hidden, but this is the best source I could find on it: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/01/04/jeffrey-epstein-stephen-hawking-court-files-claims/

The whole midget thing was a complete fabrication sadly. Regardless of how funny it is.

Hadn't heard about that before, so I googled it. It says Hawking visited for a physics conference discussing "what is gravity" with other Nobel prize winners. Epstein offered a reward to whoever could prove Hawking didn't participate in an underage orgy, and I don't know what that's about
