I've wondered before whether Eliezer would use science from after 1992 that Harry couldn't have read. Now I need wonder no longer.

Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "timeless physics".

(Yes, I'm aware that this joke would have been funnier if it was a physics paper)

Actually timeless physics is being treated as Timeless Science in HPMOR - nobody in 1991 should've heard of Julian Barbour yet.

Timeless physics predate Barbour.

Ah! I knew there was a funny joke in there somewhere.

Test: Watch Harry closely to see if he starts randomly deleting parts of himself!

Inner Slytherin: Quirrel can't be David Monroe, because I asked him about the class of 1943 and he didn't know the teachers' names!

Inner Ravenclaw: [No original research]

Inner Hufflepuff: [Request for Speedy Deletion]

Oh please, like a Ravenclaw would be offended by original research.
