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

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

    Yeah...a time traveller would be able to jump forward less backward in time to check that.

    But Stephen Hawking wasn't a time traveller, he just wanted time travellers to visit him.

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