Does anyone know where he got the name thiotimoline? To me it sounds like theo-time-line, but this is, of course, speculation 68.232.110.205
Well, the "thio" prefix indicates a sulfur functional group, and the "-ine" suffix indicates that this is an organic amine, and the rest of it probably does have something to do with time, yeah. Of course, that's just speculation. DS 22:15, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
The sentence about Spider Robinson at the very end is incomplete. I don't have the collection to put in the correct info myself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CarlFink ( talk • contribs) 20:07, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
My copy of The Early Asimov states "the compound thiotimoline will dissolve in water … in minus 1.12 seconds. That is, it will dissolve before the water is added.". note two uses of the word "dissolve", and not "break down" as stated in the article. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 15:04, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
Is the name "correct" (in the appropriate sense of the term 8-)? Presumaby the binomial name is just "Karlsbadensis rufo", and "Rosacea" is the family name? If so the latter should not be in italics. On the other hand, if Rosacea is the genus, then "Karlsbadensis" should be the species (hence it should be uncap'ed) and "rufo" should be a variety. Duh? -- Jorge Stolfi ( talk) 17:52, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
Regarding this edit, does the wording "Red Indians" occur in the original text? -- SoledadKabocha ( talk) 19:54, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
Possibly not worth adding to the article, but the chemical formula of thiotimoline seems to be CnH20+mO20N3 if the nitro group is present and CnH20+mO18N3 if it is not. Here, n represents the (unknown) number of carbon atoms; I'm not going to work out the minimal value. The number of hydrogens bonded directly to carbon is represented by m.

I have now twice added "intended to be mixed" instead of "when it is mixed". This has nothing to do with intention or lack on intention, it has to do with the fact that grammatically, if thiotimoline dissolves BEFORE it is mixed, that you cannot say it happens WHEN it is mixed. If different method of expressing that it is not at the time of mixing, but before, I welcome a change.(I'm working on possibilities now) I know this is science fiction and illogical, I recognize this. If English had a conditional tense this might be easier to describe. Perhaps it can be noted that it dissolve before it is mixed, without simultaneously saying it happens when it is mixed.

The Spanish version es:tiotimolina contains nice 3D and 2D structures only I have no experience with adding pictures to a page. Simon de Danser ( talk) 05:04, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
The term endochronic appears to be a legitimate scientific term used in articles such as Endochronic theory, non-linear kinematic hardening rule and generalized plasticity: a new interpretation based on generalized normality assumption, Some comments on the endochronic theory of plasticity, HYSTERETIC ENDOCHRONIC THEORY FOR SAND and others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deathmare ( talk • contribs) 07:18, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Regarding the notability tag, wouldn't this article be easier to justify if it was introduced in the lead as an article about the stories themselves, written by a famous and award-winning author, rather than an article about a fictional substance? Richard75 ( talk) 13:13, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
