You realise, don't you, that not you, me, Hawkings or anybody else 
"uderstand" one damn thing about time travel? There is nothing to base an 
opinion or theory on except "seems to me..."
And "seems to me.." ain't science.
There is not one fact available. There is no frame of reference to build
in.
Any idea is as good as any other.
