One of which is that Stephen Hawking threw a lousy party.
The other one is that most people haven't herd of it, so I doubt the knowledge of this party will travel that far into the future.
Someone who put work and effort into developing time travel will have heard of it. Unless it happened after a complete destruction and rebuild of civilization or two.
Maybe Stephen Hawking sent hate mail to future humans so now they don't attend his party out of spite.
It came out in the future that he was a real meanie and no one likes him anymore.
He wrote that one paper that called time travellers nerds. No one forgives him for that.
All the emails that arrived in the future turned into gel bananas, so they didn't get the memom
Or it was developed by aliens who don’t care about human history.
This makes me think of the red dwarf episode where they find a Time Machine 3 million years into deep space, and use it to go back to the 15th century. They get disappointed and think it failed because they are still in deep space, and Kryten says no, it worked, we are now in 15th century deep space.
They then work out that you need both a Time Machine and an instant space travel machine like the holly hop drive. Especially since everything in the universe is moving.
And so, like, aliens might very well care but can’t find the right intersection of time and space to actually get there. :)
Take that back!!
