minus-squareShrubbery@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up72·2 days agoBeing able to time travel implies he could also jump forward in time (e.g. to check his posthumous reputation).
minus-squareqarbone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-217 hours agoYeah…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.

minus-squareRestrictedAccount@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 day agoOr maybe the time travelers went back and faked his name onto the list as a prank.
minus-squareElgenzay@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 days agoAh right, so they would have given him the technology to do so i guess is what it’s implying
