TimeJump App

            Are you having hard time retaining information? Are those boring textbooks making it a hassle to relate to its contents? Well, you’re in luck! The new innovative application, called TimeJump, makes the traditional way of learning look ancient and dull. TimeJump makes learning fun and an adventurous task that makes it easy for students to comprehend information on a physical and physiological standard. Instead of just sitting in a boring class room, getting frustrated of being unable to grasp the information you’re studying. TimeJump gives an interactive approach through time traveling, in order for people to engage physically with what they are learning, which will create better understanding of book materials. Why read a book about Cleopatra, when you could just pop in and see her; all while learning about Egyptian hieroglyphic?

The Product:

TimeJump is an application software that can be downloaded for free onto any technology device, from a smartphone to a computer.The app is a time travel software
that can transport anyone into either to the past or the future universes, to interact with the people and environment of those times, without altering what happened in the past and going to in the future. TimeJump is an educational tool to engage students into wanting to learn different subjects, without the hassle of trying to understand the problematic traditional way of learning.

 

People have wanted a source for time traveling for centuries, through the means of a massive time machine. The Digital Age is more environmental friendly and technically savvy to deal with anything in bulk; which is the main reason why TimeJump is in an app formation for any electronic device. Apps are easy to manage and store, making it user friendly for any age consumer. It is convenient to not only users but to the environment. TimeJump doesn’t use any of the earth natural minerals in order to be produced, nor does it release any hazardous toxins like a typical time machine could possible discharge into the air or even worse the atmosphere in space. Making TimeJump an app is also a great marketing poll to allure the young Digital Age generation, because everyone usually has an electronic device attached to their hip.

TimeJump was inspired by popular science-fiction entertainments in movies and novels. Movies like “Back to the Future” starring Michael J. Fox, and the famous “Planet of the Apes” with the actor Mark Wahlberg; made modern media more curious of the adventures in time traveling, by opening a door of creative paradoxes, like beingable to manipulate what already happen in history or what is going to happen in the future. Books have also raised people’s curiosity on the study of time, like H.G. Wells “The Time Machine,” and Madeleine L’Engle “A Wrinkle in Time.” Looking at the time span of when all these productions were created, you can tell just how long people have desired for a time traveling transporter. Luckily we don’t have to wait any longer, due to the development of the TimeJump app.

Specifications:

TimeJump can be downloaded for free from any app store and onto any electronic device. Once the app is installed, TimeJump data would just ask consumers a few short questions about their quest search: What time period are you visiting? Who do you want to see? These questions are asked to make sure the traveler has a safe and precise traveling experience. After answering all the questions; the only thing left to do is electronically sign and agree to the terms and regulation of TimeJump and enjoy traveling. Frequently asked questions are: How can this app transport people into a different dimension? The answer to that is later explained in this presentational essay.

How is time traveling possible?

Many may wonder, how it’s possible to time travel especially through a mobile app. Understanding how TimeJump transports people into different dimensions of the world’s time zone, is to have a true understanding in the studies of physics and astronomy. Time traveling is an unsubstantiated controversial conspiracy in the world of science, because if you observe both sides of the argument, neither of them are inaccurate of common sense of if time traveling is possible or parable. The phenomenal improvements in quantum force are reviving the many historical theories of time traveling; that has made it quite the battling match for theoretical physicists’ case studies (Kaku). Studying Einstein’s theory, some may take the research of time traveling as a challenge to nature, because in a temporal sense, science is able to engineer responses for our “metaphysical” expeditions (umich.edu). To understand more of Einstein’s scientific theory, click this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgdacFRkiZ8.

Einstein’s investigation of time was the start of understanding the concepts of time traveling itself. He described time as a direction in space, meaning that it is an illusion and imaginary. The modern theory of wormholes came about, when scientist have realized that in order to beat time, you have to travel faster than the speed of light; which is only possible for particles and not human beings. People are “trapped” by the speed of light time-length inhibiting us to move at that high speed. Wormholes are “theoretical passages through space-time that could create shortcuts for long journeys across the universe (space.com),” that are more commonly known as Einstein-Rosen bridges. The wormholes theory is an hour-glass 4-dimensional pathway connected to two opposite universes in space time, current and another world. The wormhole works by approximately making a hole through time-space from one universe to another, which will decrease the time it takes to travel from point A to point B.  TimeJump takes on the concept of the wormhole’s pathway and incorporates it into the design to make it possible for people to penetrate through space-time to time travel.

Similar Products to TimeJump:

TimeJump is like no other invention ever made. There has been rumors that an Iranian scientist Ali Razeghi has invented a time machine, but these are only internet claims and not factual. The claims are that he has invented a device that “can predict with 98 percent accuracy the future five to eight years of an individual’s life (huffingtonpost.com).” The only similarity of Razeghi device to TimeJump, is that it is electronic; but Razeghi time machine is more so like a satellite dish or an ultrasound, you can only channel the future based on what you already see coming. His device can tell the sex of a couples future babies, but so can an ultrasound if a woman is already pregnant. Mad scientist Razeghi’s time machine possibly could foresee weather conditions, but a weather satellite can also so that same thing. TimeJump doesn’t bring the past or the future to you, like history books do; but it brings you to the different time zone.

Audience:

TimeJump is made for any to every age, because there is no age limit to learning new things. The primary target for this product is for students who struggle with retaining certain educationally concepts, and also for those who don’t necessarily have the time or patience to read through an entire book on concepts like the culture of Asia. With TimeJump, it makes it absolutely easy to understand the chronicles of ancient Asia, and learn those concepts that are and some not taught in history books, by jumping into that time period to meet up with the famous military philosopher Sun Tzu, writer of the Art of War. Law students no longer have to read hundreds of complicated law material; instead they can time travel to the 1940s to see the famous Civil Rights lawyer Pauli Murray and infamous judge Carmen Mullen work through their career in the judiciary system. They can even visit Solon, the Greek philosopher during the BC (Before Christ), to see why and how laws were set into place. Young children can also enjoy TimeJump and travel to the time before dinosaurs were extinct millions of years ago, to witness how life revolutionized. As you can see people of all ages would love TimeJump, because we are all naturally curious beings and could learn so much more through physical interactions with history, rather than just learning it via page by page in books.

Enhancing Students Education:

            Improving modern educational systems to make learning not only enjoyable for students but easier is the main objective for TimeJump. One of the most essential reasons why many students have a difficult time learning their academics in school settings is because educational institutions fail to include the intersection of experience with learning. Students lack understanding of their text materials, because us humans are puzzle solving organisms, meaning we like to make connections with what we know with what we are learning; but how could students make those connections if they don’t have that experience to connect it with them? TimeJump has “the ability to translate knowledge, experience and intelligence into words and images that appeal” (McDurry, 1) to the learning capabilities within students.

An example of this is learning the discipline of science. A lot of people find science extremely difficult and refuse to pursue a college education in it, due to it being so complex. One of the main ways to get individuals into science is the pursuit of social interaction within labs and visual representations, because this allows students to engage in the practice of science and enables them to gain scientific knowledge that is integrated with an “understanding of science knowledge, attitudes, tools, [and] techniques (Edelson, 4).” This proves that having experience in a subject improves learning contemplation and excitement for different educational fields.

The TimeJump app encourages interactive learning in the educational systems. When there is confusion over any educational topic, for an example the effect of the World War II on the U.S. Great Depression. Students can return to that period of 1929-1945 and physically experience what happen during that time and with the physical experience would change their psychological perception of that time period and stimulate their minds to understand and interpret their experience through their assignments. Experiencing an interactive and hands-on educational learning tool encourages students to desire wanting to learn, instead of having a grudge over it.

Marketing Plan:

TimeJump is free and can be downloaded onto any electronic device. Sponsoring with different networks like Facebook, Google, Magazine companies and others to promote TimeJump’s advertisements will provide financial support for the company. Platforming the app on social media is a great way to reach TimeJump’s potential audience (Horn, 9). TimeJump has a certified website, socialmedia pages, and also markets in technological fairs and conferences. The team behind TimeJump’s marketing thrives to catch the attention of potential buys through our funky but slick logo design and by demonstrating all of TimeJump’s ingenious features of time traveling for education. So why sit down and read that boring book when you could be jumping from time to time, in the name of academics!
