We live in a truly golden age of discovery-driven progress in deciphering the workings of our Universe. We are now collecting data across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from the radio-band to gamma-rays. Light, the traditional tool of astronomers, has been augmented by other messengers, such as meteorites, energetic particles, neutrinos and gravitational waves. The era of Multi-Messsenger Astrophysics (MMA) is here and has enabled us to experience a breathtaking expansion of knowledge boundaries: we are in the era of precision cosmology, we discovered supermassive black holes in almost all galaxies, we mapped the shadow of a black hole, we listen to gravitational waves from merging compact star binaries, we discovered thousands of exoplanets, and we chart the cosmos back to the time of the first stars and galaxies. With focus on Time Domain astronomy (TDA), i.e., the study of transient phenomena, I will present current developments and discuss the road ahead. I will comment on the origin of gold, speculate on predictable discoveries and present the probe-class mission TAP (Transient Astrophysics Probe) presented to the ongoing Decadal Survey.
