LONDON (Reuters) - Stephen Hawking’s family have invited time travelers to his memorial service, seeking to tackle one of the curiosities that eluded the British physicist during his extraordinary life.

. . .

The option to have a date of birth in the future was spotted by London blogger ianvisits who wrote on his site: “Professor Hawking once threw a party for time travelers, to see if any would turn up if he posted the invite after the party.

“None did, but it seems perfect that the memorial website allows people born in the future to attend the service. Look out for time travelers at the Abbey.”

Correct day but wrong time zone.

I hate it when that happens.

Hawking’s lifespan has a 1A Non-interference order on it from the Time Patrol.

There once was a young lady named Wight
Who’s speed was much greater than light.
She went out one day
In a relative way
And returned on the previous night.

If she went completely around the universe, she could return with her left and right sides exchanged, if the universe is nonorientable.

Wanted: Somebody to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. P.O. Box 91 Ocean View, WA 99393. You’ll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before.


By the way, that’s no time traveler meetup. Those are all the same Deloreans from different timelines.

Kingston Trio.

To Morrow.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp88oumRQvs

I started on a journey about a year ago to a little town called Morrow in the State of Ohio.
I’ve never been much of a traveler, and I really didn’t know that Morrow was the hardest place I’d ever try to go.

So I went down to the station for my ticket and applied for tips regarding Morrow not expecting to guyed.
Said I, “My friend, I’d like to go to Morrow and return no later than tomorrow for I haven’t time to burn.”

Said he to me, “Now let me see if I have heard you right. You’d like to go to Morrow and return tomorrow night.
You should have gone to Morrow yesterday and back today for the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way.

If you had gone to Morrow yesterday now don’t you see, you could have gone to Morrow and returned today at three
For the train today to Morrow, if the schedule is right, today it goes to Morrow and returns tomorrow night.”

Said I, “My friend, it seems to me you’re talking through your hat. There is a town named Morrow on the line now tell me that.”
“There is,” said he, “but take me a quiet little tip. To go from here to Morrow is a fourteen hour trip.

The train today to Morrow leaves today at eight thirty-five. At half-past ten tomorrow is the time it should arrive.
So if from here to Morrow is a fourteen hour jump, can you go today to Morrow and get back today, you chump?”

Said I, “I’d like to go to Morrow so can I go today and get to Morrow by tonight if there is no delay?”
“Well, well,” said he to me, “and I’ve got no more to say. CAN YOU GET anywhere tomorrow and get back again today?”

Said I, “I guess you know it all but kindly let me say, how can I get to Morrow if I leave this town today?”
Said he, “You cannot go to Morrow any more today ‘cause the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way.”

I was so disappointed. I was mad enough to swear. The train had gone to Morrow and had left me standing there.
HE HAD NO RIGHT in telling me that I was a-howling jay. I could not go to Morrow so I guess in town I’ll stay.

Members of the public have been invited to apply for tickets to attend a celebration of Hawking’s life at a memorial service in Westminster Abbey on June 15

I was just there next month. It was a nice ceremony.

I thought that it might be the Yogi Berra paradox, “Nobody goes there any more, it’s too crowded”.

Anyone that would come is not a time traveler. It is one of the many things that are strictly forbidden. One would be immediately recalled to the present (current future) and would never be allowed to travel again. If the timeline has to be “fixed”; the penalties are severe.
