No this is not correct. His change of mind has nothing to do with time travel. Hawking had believed that anything swallowed by a black hole was forever hidden from the outside universe. John Preskill, a theoretical physicist at the California Institute of Technology, bet that the information carried by an object was not destroyed when it entered a black hole and could actually be recovered. 30 years after the initial bet, Preskill proved him wrong, and won the bet.
