The latest release of the Epstein files by the US Justice Department has drawn attention to Stephen Hawking, the British scientist known for his groundbreaking work in theoretical physics and cosmology.
Hawking, who made significant contributions to our understanding of black holes and the Big Bang, is referenced at least 250 times in the files.
While being named in the files is not evidence of wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein’s crimes, the documents from the investigation into the disgraced financier shed light on his powerful social connections.
