Summary
This document is an excerpt from a James Patterson book, submitted as evidence in a House Oversight investigation. It details a March 2006 physics symposium titled 'Confronting Gravity' hosted by Jeffrey Epstein in Saint Thomas, attended by Stephen Hawking and Nobel laureates. The text highlights a specific gesture where Epstein paid to modify a submarine to accommodate Hawking's wheelchair for an underwater tour. The partially visible right page discusses Epstein's associate Al Seckel and mentions connections to Elon Musk and James 'The Amazing' Randi.
