Why was Stephen Hawking mentioned in the Jeffrey Epstein files

The idea that the universe simply existed, in its then-current form, without any moving force supplying the reasons or explanations for any of the rules that govern it, and somehow maintained its energy long enough for life to come into existence, advance through billions of generations, and gain the capacity for self-reflection, is MORE SIMPLE than the idea that it's the product of an external force?

And people thought this guy was smart?

Which leads to the more complicated question. How did the universe come into being?

He was intelligent but not wise
