665:, and they are on commons. However, they could be seen as misleading, since thiotimoline is a fictional substance, and Asimov does not give details of its structure. In particular, a two-dimensional image cannot represent a four-dimensional molecule except in the most general way. It's like trying to represent a three-dimensional molecule as a straight line with dots at intervals: this is OK for some inorganic compounds and the simple unbranched

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.

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

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

And to clarify what it is specifically that I didn't think hard enough about: If the word "Indians" appears in the original text, that makes it undesirable to say "Native

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?

This second sample would have it's water added 1.2 seconds before the first sample had water added...so the second sample would in fact dissolve 2.4 seconds before you added the water to the original sample.
