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!

I mean they also hosted normal events there probably much more normal ones than questionable ones.

A shit load of people have been invited there for normal things. You can't just assume everyone that ever set foot on that island is a pedo.

Maybe, but I imagine connected people knew something was up with that island. I remember hearing about the "Lolita Express" plane in maybe the early 2000s on the Internet. At the time I probably thought it was a conspiracy theory, but that it reached common people like me indicates that if you're actually going there, you'd have some questions.

People didn't know, there where just some conspiracy theories around that.

These conspiracy theories where as believable as the Pizza Gate BS is right now.

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/
