What was the greatest treasure humanity lost?

The books in the Great Library of Alexandria.


Think about all the knowledge lost, from steam engines, architecture and batteries, to science knowledge in astronomy and geography, and the countless art treasures which includes stories, poetry and theater plays.

The most important treasure is knowledge, not gold and precious stones. And as such, the destruction of the books in what was the greatest Library of the ancient world is one of humanity’s greatest setbacks.

If time travel is possible, why aren't there people from the future appearing now?

Some theories suggest that time travel can only exists while a “time-machines” exists.

For example, if a time machine will be invented in the year 2100, a time traveler would be able to travel back in time from the year 3,000 to the year 2,200, but not to the year 2,018.

One mechanism to build a theoretical “time-machine” is by using wormholes, that connect two points in spacetime. It’s all unproven theory.

For researching my time-travel thriller Typhoon Time, I read the book: Time Travel in Einstein's universe by J. Richard Gott, a professor of astrophysical sciences at Princeton University.
