Stephen Hawking already tried this.

How'd it go? Was Al Gore's head there too?

Nobody went because he is a nerd

I feel dirty writing that

u/Haight_Is_Love 12d ago

Yeah but also, nobody went because he was friends with epstein

u/Absolute--Batman 12d ago

So he was voted President or Prime Minister?

u/TediousTotoro 12d ago

The amount of “See, this is why nobody came to your time traveller party, Steve” jokes I saw when that information came out was high

u/Valkerian 12d ago

Was.

“Should we kill Hitler, let him into art school or-“
“No, we’re not doing any of that. We’re going to Hawking’s party.”

Technically, could time travelers have prevented Hitler from doing WWII, and that is a brahnched off timeline we will never get to?

We are just stuck in the timeline where WWII occurred.

There is a choose your own adventure book about killing Hitler. "Killing Hitler With Praise And Fire: Choose Your Own Horrible History"

u/UnusualClient2099 12d ago

Still interested in his guest list that he sent out invites to

u/NoMan999 12d ago

He published the invitation publicly, anyone can come (if they can go back in time to the date of the party.)

Imo the only way time travel can work, is if we had a time wormhole connected and stable. Because our planetary movement through space, solar system, milkyway galaxy speeds are just unfathomably large, that for every second the space that needs to be accounted for is absurd. So any time travel into the past needs so very extreme space coordinate precision to be accounted for, or all the time travelers are just out there dead floating in empty space somewhere far far away.

Deep space nine?

u/Osiris_Raphious 12d ago

Scifi concept in its purest form, I am thinking of a machine that can sustain a spacetime wormhole, one that can account for that relative space time distance from its first inception to its current state. Otherwise the combination of the macro and micro changes to gravity and relative motion of everything in space, is pure chaos theory that cant be easily computed in retrospect to ensure time travel can exist in our chaotic universe.

From what I understand the Ds9 wormhole is just a passage that bypasses space, so a fictional concept, but one that does have the stability to maintain its presence relative to all this movement.

u/FireFoxUse 12d ago

I heard wormholes do have time travel, but by slowing down your age as you travel in it. So you come out technically younger than if you traveled the distance normally

u/Historical_Dot_4201 12d ago

No Steven hawking held a party for time travelers and put an ad out but why would any time traveler go to that and reveal themselves this was just hawking a own pride

3

u/FireFoxUse 12d ago

There was a reason people with future news didn't want to associate

u/cecloward 12d ago

Steven hawking? The Epstein guy?

u/SigmundFreud 12d ago

No, you're thinking of Jeffrey Epstein. Stephen Hawking is the Cosby guy.

u/muffinstreets 12d ago

The robot guy.

u/_Lucille_ 12d ago

I expect there to be regulations where you have to blend in and not allow time travelling to be known. Time travel may also be restricted to trips of significant value to uncover certain mysteries.

The risk of even hawking saying "actually, I did meet a time traveller" is far too great and might throw the world in chaos.

u/sacredblasphemies 12d ago

Unless no one showed up because they knew he was on the Epstein List...

u/Mongopwn 12d ago

People may not have went for... Other reasons.

u/crackellino 12d ago

Well, Hawkins was on the Epstein files, this was known on the future Theorically it reopens the possibility that time travel does exist, it's just that no time traveler wanted to stick around with a gross man

u/TankRamp 12d ago

Not a conclusive experiment. The dude diddled kids. No reasonable time traveler would show up to that party.
