  • So a few years ago

  • Back in 2009

  • Steven Hawking decided to throw a party

  • Near the Univeristy of Cambridge in the UK.

  • The party happened on the 28th of June

  • But the catch was that Hawking only sent out invitations

  • To the party AFTER the party had already taken place

  • You see, this was a party for time travellers

  • And by only sending out invitations after the party had already taken place,

  • The theory was that only people capable of time travel would know about it and show up.

  • Unfortunately for Hawking, nobody ended up showing up to the party.

  • At least to our knowledge

  • He partied alone that day, but to any potential time travelers that are watching this video,

  • You can change that by going to these coordinates on June 28th, 2009 and pay him a visit.

  • Hawking believed that his invitations to this party would last for thousands of years.

  • And hopefully encourage somebody in the far future to come back and visit

  • But this automatically made a question

  • Is traveling to the past even possible in the first place
