Thiotimoline is a series short stories in the form of fake scientific essays by <a href="/c/books/credit/23531/isaac-asimov/">Isaac Asimov</a>. Thiotimoline is a fictitious chemical compound conceived by Asimov, first described in a spoof scientific paper titled "The Endochronic Properties of Resublimated Thiotimoline". The major peculiarity of the chemical is its "endochronicity": it starts dissolving before it makes contact with water. Asimov went on to write three additional short stories, each describing different properties or uses of thiotimoline.
