Hi Telmo, One event involved an email exchange that I has with two people. We where discussing theories of emergent space-time. Nothing really consequential. It didn't go anywhere as on of the persons said that I had to wait for his paper to be published for further information on his theory. Thing is, now the only evidence that I can find that the events happened are in my memory. All of the emails and so forth are gone, as if they where wiped clean from our reality.
