Brilliant man. I went to a lecture by him and got to meet him after. You could see in his eyes that his body was not holding him back.

That doesn't mean time travel isn't possible. Perhaps no one wanted to go to his party. It's more likely an introvert would time travel, and they hate parties.

HIPPIE CHICKEN, they must have edited the picture by my time Feb. 2024, because all I see is Hawking alone in a large room with blue and silver balloons, no banner.

considering what would happen to a person caught time traveling, nobody would dare admit they had.

Perhaps he sent the invitations to the wrong people or they couldn't make it then, Time Travelers are busy people!

He was a brilliant person, but alas, time travelers only time travel backwards through the space-time continuum, not forward in time, unless if you're cryogenically frozen in time...

I still have a problem with this. If a time traveler received an invitation, and attended, then a new time line would have been created. Leaving intact the old time line, and rendering this “experiment” quite useless as it is presented. And Hawking’s theory that all of everything is just going to keep expanding until we all fly off into nothingness demonstrates a brilliant mind that can extrapolate known data into ridiculous assumptions.
