What were the defining moments in the history of Civilization, of Life, of the Universe itself? Back in Time is an interactive multimedia journey through those moments. We invite you to take a step back and see the whole picture.

An imaginary clock will guide you through this quest, proposing a simple analogy: the entire Universe started 24 hours ago.
The Big Bang, the source of time and space, is the first event in our journey the clock says 0:00 hours. Today, 13.7 billion years later, the clock says midnight. In between, is a sequence of key events that has brought us to where we are today. Explore them, place them in perspective, see how they relate, understand the consequences, and wonder what if

This is the journey we propose to take you on. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

...a beautifully executed lesson on the history of the universe and the evolution of life on earth. Great for high school students or parents whod like to tutor younger children and enjoy a first-rate experience of their own...

The iPad could use more apps like this one.

...the best iPad apps are those that combine coffee table-styled books with the fluid nature of the iPads interface. Back in Time is just that, its the story of the entire history of our universe made interactive on the iPad.

amazing... (5 stars)
It's amazing how much information is packed into this app - and the presentation is stunning. I use it to show my daughter history (large-scale!) - and I'm learning a lot as well. If you are familiar with the NOVA series, this is very much like watching an interactive version of that.

[Note: someone else reviewed this as "just a timeline" - it most certainly is NOT just that. At any point you can jump into the epoch to se

It took a minute to discover it all... (5 stars)
It falsely appears to be a mere timeline at first. It wasn't until I discovered I could click on the items as they emerged from the screen that I discovered all of the amazing video clips, facts, articles, and sideshows.

A few careless errors in wording/grammar. Example: Big Bang section, item 4: Should be "resulted IN" not "resulted ON"... It's a shame to allow such careless errors to stain an otherwise perfect

Underwhelmed (2 stars)
Graphically nice, but it's nothing more than a timeline. Some information about the events would be a major improvement.
