We’re in one of the unlucky few possible resulting timelines in which no one showed. My friend from timeline 3f-1933847.12b told me that their party is still going. Every few hours more travelers turn up with a fresh keg, and whatever their generation’s party drug is.
Tbf the important question is: assuming that backwards time travel is possible, will people attempt to the party. And there I would say, unlikely. And while I think backwards time travel is very implausible, the experiment itself proves nothing
I thought in your original reply you were saying the most plausible thing was that there must be no time travel. This reply suggests otherwise, which I agree with.
I still do not believe in time travel so I think the most plausible thing is there is no time travel. But assuming time travel was possible, there would still be no one on the party. This doesn’t prove it but neither do I need any proof
Exactly, they’d know a lot more accurately what happened too, which raises another point as to why no one comes back here - imagine gong somewhere that you know horrible things are happening to children but you can’t say anything or save them because of the timeline…
Even if in the unlikely event Hawking didn’t know about it talking to him and not saying ‘that friend of yours epstine is a bad dude’ would be unbearable.
For example maybe you need a working time machine at your destination, such that the earliest point possible to travel to is the moment the first time machine was switched on.
There’s an innumerable number of reasons no one showed up, only one of which is that backwards time travel isn’t possible.

It’s by far the most plausible but sure, if you ignore Ockham’s razor, sure, it’s only one of many explanations
More plausible than there being rules around time travel that involve not attending parties? I think not.
One such possibility is that you can only travel to times where the device you’re using to do so exists.
More like a time gate than an H.G. Wells-style machine, but still a workable model.

Maybe future people knew about his supposed ties to Epstein and didn’t want to show up…

One of them that no one made a backup of the past.
News of his attendance at someone else’s party made all future time travelers give him a wide berth.
I mean, maybe people did show up. Maybe he never told anyone else due to the implications.
