You have an excellent point to make, but im wondering if you recall where Hawking actually did advertise for a meeting of Time-Travellers on a specific date a few years back, and the meeting to be held at a specific venue?

Sadly no Time-Travellers, or anybody, attended that meeting and Hawking was a bit "miffed" about it...Lets theorize here for a moment, that some Time-travellers actually DID attend that venue, but on the WRONG date, due maybe to a glitch in their Time-Travel devices that they were unaware of :eek::D

Or perhaps they did arrive at that venue, but it was not in our direct timeline. It was an alternate universe (of which are infinite) and another version of Stephen Hawking got to meet them. If 99% of all the Stephen Hawkings held the venue, what percentage of Stephen Hawkings would have a successful experiment? Although Stephen announced it publically, maybe he didn't believe hard enough or go through the proper channel of summoning a time traveller. What if the time traveller is 10,000 years in the future, how would they possibly know of Stephen Hawkings venue? Information like that, would have been lost long ago.

Thinking of past knowledge and what we know from thousands of years ago, a lot of it is religious. You'd basically have to devise of a cult and method to deliver your message well off into the future through "spiritual" means, by having rituals, creating traditions, etc. Because all religions today are connected at a fundamental level, it's easy to fathom that there's a hidden underlying truth to all of it and we simply aren't wise enough to understand. Hell, we're basically idiots as a species. We just started crawling, and already we're banging our head into walls and nearing the edge of cliffs.

Very true. He'd need to L Ron Hubbard it. Still, implanting that knowledge into a cult in a way that survives so long could be impossible. If all religions point a certain way (which I agree they do.), then it's likely that something so artificial as his experiment would be quickly eroded from the cult.

In reality, there being a time traveller wasn't as important as Stephen Hawking publically announcing his belief in such matters and their plausibility for being accurate and not just works of fiction.

He didn't believe in such matters. That's the point of the story. All the work he ever did on the top was to demonstrate that it isn't plausible.
