Another factor here is that Epstein was obsessed with physics and being friends with physicists.
While Epstein was always a monster. He could hide it around certain people.
But from everything I've read, the monster always comes out. And we all know what being Epstein's friend eventually entails.
That's pure speculation. Your argument is what is referred to as "guilt by association". Your argument has no basis. It wouldn't hold up in court.
Also does anyone actually have info about in what context Hawking is mentioned in the files? That makes all the difference here, I'd imagine
Yes. There was a scientific conference held on Epstein's island in 2006. Hawking was one of the scientists who attended. There is no evidence that Hawking even knew what was going on regarding the sex trafficking.

These people don't care. I got downvoted to hell by saying the same thing. Apparently factual evidence isn't the norm in here.
You're probably right. A story is more important than facts to them.
