He was dead when we found out, how the fuck would he come back in time?

Being able to time travel implies he could also jump forward in time (e.g. to check his posthumous reputation).

But why does Stephen Hawking not being able to time travel mean time travel doesn’t exist?

Probably a reference to his “time travelers party”, a tongue-in-cheek way he used to suggest backwards time travel is impossible

Maybe no one came to his party because they knew he was on the list

Ah right, so they would have given him the technology to do so i guess is what it’s implying

Going forward is sadly the only way we can time travel. I explained this to Stephen in a couple weeks.

Yeah…a time traveller would be able to jump
forwardless backward in time to check that.But Stephen Hawking wasn’t a time traveller, he just wanted time travellers to visit him. And Stephen Hawking was the one seeking time travellers.

I want to jump over this time period to get a better time in future.

Well, all you need to do is travel at a significant fraction of the speed of light. That will let you fast-forward the rest of non-relativistic reality. Then it’s just a matter of slowing down again.

Sounds very simple, thank you for that information.
