darniil Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 http://io9.com/5887014/meet-thiotimoline-the-chemical-compound-isaac-asimov-invented-to-spoof-boring-science-writing I saw this article about Asimov today, and thought it was pretty interesting. When I got to the part where it was talking about the fourth thiotimoline story, all I could think of was the proposed third Mistborn trilogy. Asimov's final thiotimoline story, "Thiotimoline and the Stars", is set in the far future and explains how thiotimoline ultimately led to the creation of endochronic starships, which allows sufficiently talented pilots to match the endochronocity of the ship's building materials with relativistic time dilation, allowing ships to travel interstellar distances and age at the same rate as the rest of the universe. I'm going to have to go find these things now. This thiotimoline stuff sounds great. (Oh, as for how this applies to You? I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.)
