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
