He could go back in time and give his caretaker a note to give to him a week before they met that said "And STAY AWAY from that Epstein... He's a bad egg!".

Or hawking is a piece of shit who was full well aware of what was going on, partook and thus has expanded no effort to go back in time to stop himself from hanging out with child raping scumbags.

I'm so bitterly disappointed with so many people. Especially Hawking.

There is no evidence that h Hawking actually participated in wrongdoing related to Epstein. Guilt by association has no evidential basis.

Shit by the criteria of the Dino conference people hawking would be banned from there conferences forever simply due to his association with Epstein.

Ultimately Hawking spent a lot of time with Epstein, on the island.

He wasn't a saint either. He had his own flaws and had left his wife for one of his nurses (literally learnt that from a Epstein email) in 1994-95.

Notwithstanding the huge amount of material being held by the DoJ we really don't know who is guilty, or what they knew. Shit Clinton was attacked in court for being on the island and apparently being aware of a multi person rape on one of the women (that even the victim admitted he wasn't party to).

How you could be on this island, with so many young girls and women and powerful men and not put 2 and 2 together is quite a big claim to make.
