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

Or maybe the time travelers went back and faked his name onto the list as a prank.

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

Why would they do that, they know he's on the list.
