Back in Time

Awesome way of how to communicate and visualize time as it relates to life from the birth of the universe to today. Check out the last second and ponder.

I absolutely love this app! Visually stunning, and intellectually stimulating! This is a great app for anyone who wants to understand the history of our universe according to current scientific knowledge. If you have ever read Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" you will be familiar with the content of this app, as well as the quality. But this app is so much more than that excellent book (and not directly related in anyway, as far as I know) but it takes that type of information and presents it in a beautiful interface that is fun to use and with its most excellent background music, surprisingly soothing! Give to this app as a gift to anyone who appreciates history, science or just wants to learn! Perfect gift for students of probably sixth grade on up through college too!

This fine app with its excellent graphics and very readable and accurate content is just a fine resource for grasping the evolution of our universe and the timescale of events. I teach people of all age groups about the history of the solar system and the universe, and it is extraordinarily difficult for them to grasp the time scale and sequence of events over billions of years. Relating it all to a 24 hour time scale that everyone can understand solves this problem elegantly, and Back In Time does this in great fashion with the two clocks that give the user an understandable roadmap to the past.. Quite an accomplishment.! The graphics are superb, and the navigation is exciting and stimulating. Great job.

If you can't get to the New York Metropolitan Museum, and you want a clear, compelling, beautiful, presentation of the universe's timeline - you should spend some time with this app. I've taught science and geology at the high school and college under-graduate level, the textbooks and required curricula always seem to stress small facts about the names and dates of the fossil record. The students memorize the facts, but miss the scale and significance of Big Time. Students and teachers would do well to spend a few hours interacting with this presentation of the historical and geologic timeline. The bilingual presentation will make this material accessible to more students. Well done.

This is a beautifully packaged presentation summarizing key events since the big bang. As a middle school science and social studies this will be a useful tool in helping my students comprehend the immensity of galactic-geologic time spans and human history. As a bilingual educator in a dual-language classroom, the ability to change the language of all the content to Spanish is a HUGE plus as it is difficult to find quality resources in this media that address the diverse language needs of our multi-cultural classrooms. Well done....we need more of this. One suggestion, add a greater variety of music so user can select from various themes and melodies...the one lovely song included will tire after awhile.
