The Worthless Word for the Day:
thiotimoline - a fictitious chemical compound conceived by science fiction author Isaac Asimov (first published in the March 1948 issue of Astounding Science Fiction)

"The result was that I wrote a pseudo-dissertation written as stodgily as I could manage about a compound which dissolved 1.12 seconds before you added the water. I called it The Endochronic Properties of Resublimated Thiotimoline." - Isaac Asimov, I. Asimov: A Memoir (1994)

"It can only be initiated in my continuum, because the molecules of the activating substance, thiotimoline, have different properties when they're reversed." - Spider Robinson, Time Travelers Strictly Cash (1981)
