::::At one point in the episode, a newspapper from the ''New York Bugl'' (rest of the name off-screen) dated 1903. The newspapper article is called ''Tesla: I Heard Message from Mars'' and documents an event that has already happened prior to the story (that is, Tesla recieving a signal from Mars. Surely enough, the year is a bit blurry on the journal shot, but it firmly places the story as at least 1903 (but not necessarily 1903 itself).

:::::True. I missed the year on that paper. In real life when exactly in 1903 did Tesla receive those signals? And what time of the year does this story take place (since we know the paper is a bit old by the story's placement)? It could help us clarify if the year is 1903 or 1904? --[[User:Danniesen|DCLM]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 21:39, January 20, 2020 (UTC) | :::::True.

::Now ''that's'' evidence to set this story specifically in the [[1900s]]. :) Real-world chronology does not enter into it, though. If we were ''told'', within the story, that those events were in January, say, with this story taking place just a few months later (ie. definitely fewer than 11), then we might be able to pin down more. Anything without such a foundation in DWU evidence would be speculation and/or [[real world creep]]. Truly, though: nice find!{{User:SOTO/sig}} 23:54, January 20, 2020 (UTC) | |||
