    “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.

        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.

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

    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!

      I mean they also hosted normal events there probably much more normal ones than questionable ones.

      A shit load of people have been invited there for normal things. You can’t just assume everyone that ever set foot on that island is a pedo.

        Maybe, but I imagine connected people knew something was up with that island. I remember hearing about the “Lolita Express” plane in maybe the early 2000s on the Internet. At the time I probably thought it was a conspiracy theory, but that it reached common people like me indicates that if you’re actually going there, you’d have some questions.

          People didn’t know, there where just some conspiracy theories around that.

          These conspiracy theories where as believable as the Pizza Gate BS is right now.

      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
