Seemingly bored with the constant hypothesising and speculation on whether time travel may or may not be possible, Stephen Hawking decided he would answer the question once and for all in the only way one of the most well-known and respected physicists of all time could—by throwing a party.
–
The premise was simple: In 2009, the professor decided to host a lavish party complete with champagne and canapes. However, since this was more of a “welcome reception for future time travelers”, Hawking did not send any invitations for it until after it had already taken place.
–
“Maybe, someday, someone in the future will find the invitation and use the worm hole time machine to come back to my party proving that time travel will one day be possible,” Hawking said.
–
Of course, just giving a mere address is not enough information for any potential time traveler, so Hawking included the location of the party “in the exact co-ordinates in time and space.” –
The gathering, which took place on 28 June, 2009. Alas, after waiting patiently for his guests to arrive, it soon became apparent that no time travelers were going to come. “What a shame,” Hawking said. “I was hoping a future Miss Universe was going to step through the door.” –
