as someone else said: now his time travel experiment is worthless, cause there’s a very good reason no one from the future wanted to go party with him

He was dead when we found out, how the fuck would he come back in time?

Being able to time travel implies he could also jump forward in time (e.g. to check his posthumous reputation).

But why does Stephen Hawking not being able to time travel mean time travel doesn't exist?

Probably a reference to his “time travelers party”, a tongue-in-cheek way he used to suggest backwards time travel is impossible

Ah right, so they would have given him the technology to do so i guess is what it's implying

Going forward is sadly the only way we can time travel. I explained this to Stephen in a couple weeks.

23

Yeah...a time traveller would be able to jump forward less backward in time to check that.

But Stephen Hawking wasn't a time traveller, he just wanted time travellers to visit him.

Well, all you need to do is travel at a significant fraction of the speed of light. That will let you fast-forward the rest of non-relativistic reality. Then it's just a matter of slowing down again.

He could go back in time and give his caretaker a note to give to him a week before they met that said "And STAY AWAY from that Epstein... He's a bad egg!".

Which theory explains why he has not accomplished the above.

I think the point is he was attempting to reach out to time travelers... or skeptically making fun of the idea with the time travelers party that no one showed up for.

Or hawking is a piece of shit who was full well aware of what was going on, partook and thus has expanded no effort to go back in time to stop himself from hanging out with child raping scumbags.

I'm so bitterly disappointed with so many people. Especially Hawking.

There is no evidence that h Hawking actually participated in wrongdoing related to Epstein. Guilt by association has no evidential basis.

2

Shit by the criteria of the Dino conference people hawking would be banned from there conferences forever simply due to his association with Epstein.

Ultimately Hawking spent a lot of time with Epstein, on the island.

He wasn't a saint either. He had his own flaws and had left his wife for one of his nurses (literally learnt that from a Epstein email) in 1994-95.

Notwithstanding the huge amount of material being held by the DoJ we really don't know who is guilty, or what they knew. Shit Clinton was attacked in court for being on the island and apparently being aware of a multi person rape on one of the women (that even the victim admitted he wasn't party to).

How you could be on this island, with so many young girls and women and powerful men and not put 2 and 2 together is quite a big claim to make.

Was he implicated in nefarious shit?
Afaik Epstein had a thing for physics and other physicists are in the files because he liked the subject.

40

There's even the manual for bash since it was probably installed somewhere on his machine/servers

Does anybody actually believe that Stephen Hawking was involved in the illegal activities?

26

I believe that he was probably a sexual person in some form and he probably had money so maybe he might have paid for sex. But I have no idea really.

Another factor here is that Epstein was obsessed with physics and being friends with physicists.

While Epstein was always a monster. He could hide it around certain people.

But from everything I've read, the monster always comes out. And we all know what being Epstein's friend eventually entails.

That's pure speculation. Your argument is what is referred to as "guilt by association". Your argument has no basis. It wouldn't hold up in court.

lemmy.world

These people don't care. I got downvoted to hell by saying the same thing. Apparently factual evidence isn't the norm in here.

9

You're probably right. A story is more important than facts to them.

4

Yes. There was a scientific conference held on Epstein's island in 2006. Hawking was one of the scientists who attended. There is no evidence that Hawking even knew what was going on regarding the sex trafficking.

Maybe in his earlier life. He was married more than once and had three children.

His name does appear in the Epstein files, but he was never actually accused of anything related to Epstein. To say that Hawking was a pedophile is speculation at best.

21

Pretty much, yeah. Chomsky was friends with Epstein, but friendship doesn't automatically equate to criminality. As far as i'm aware, there is currently no evidence against him.

It might seem unfair, but that's how the law works.

1

Doesn’t that just mean he never figured it out? Doesn’t mean it’s impossible for everyone forever.

15

And his movie just framed it as something like "needing" to travelling away with the nurse.

3

Is it though? There's the whole causality argument, where if time travel does get invented in the future, then you can only travel back to that moment

9

How would you know you've invented time travel then?

You're basically describing a real-time machine.

2

Irony: he authored those very papers, so his name is all over them

8

Well hawking died before time travel was invented. Now time travelers probably visited hawking while he was on Epstien Island

8

Nah, the dude really was quite shitty on several personal accounts

8

Same person, I don't know how people here don't get that a quantum physicist might not keep up with news about people, don't we all know people on the spectrum? He gets invitations to Epstein's parties because Epstein liked hanging out with physicists, people are suspicious because he continued attending those parties after news was out about how bad Epstein was.

I'd be surprised if I had heard that a mathematician read the news, and if they did that they read about people in the news

1

What if time travelers didn't want to travel back bc he was in the files?
