Understanding Your Jump:
Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Jump as Life-Changing as People Say?

Absolutely. The transformative power of an Aeon Expeditions Jump is best understood through those who’ve experienced it firsthand. Take recording artist Chris Sernel, whose journey inspired him to create “Rewind the Sky” — a powerful musical reflection on the profound impact of revisiting one’s past with new perspective.

His song captures what many Jumpers describe: the extraordinary opportunity to experience a second chance, armed with wisdom and insights that can reshape your understanding of your life’s journey. Like Chris, countless participants have found their Jumps to be genuinely transformative experiences that continue to resonate long after they return.

Listen to “Rewind the Sky” here to hear how one Jumper translated his experience into art.

How Long Does a Jump Last?
Each Jump lasts precisely 60 minutes—no more, no less. This time frame is fixed and cannot be extended due to current technological constraints.

Is It Safe?
Yes, Jumps are completely safe. Every participant has successfully completed their Jump and returned unharmed, thanks to the precision and reliability of our system. Sessions are continuously monitored by expert medical and engineering teams using state-of-the-art equipment to ensure your safety and well-being throughout the experience.

Can I Change the Past or the Future?
No. According to research on “closed time-like curves” by Dr. Fabio Costa of the University of Queensland, actions taken during a Jump have no effect on the future. While you will fully experience your hour—including making new choices or decisions—these actions do not alter the timeline. When you return to the present, everything remains exactly as it was before your Jump.

So, No Matter What I Do, the Future I Return to Remains Unchanged?
Exactly. Imagine spending an hour with your grandmother. In that hour, you might decide to take her for ice cream—something that didn’t happen originally. You could even choose to visit a place you’ve never been before. Every choice and action will shape that hour differently than it unfolded the first time, but none of it will alter the future you return to.

Who Is Eligible?
To ensure all participants are capable of handling the physical and physiological demands of a Jump, participants must meet specific physical criteria. We are unable to accept individuals with chronic medical conditions, brain or spinal injuries, or dependencies on drugs, alcohol, or tobacco. All candidates must also be physically capable of climbing seven flights of stairs within 90 seconds. In addition, for safety reasons, individuals with a criminal record, including those who have served time in prison, are not eligible. These policies are final, with no exceptions or appeals.

Can I Choose the Exact Moment of my Jump?
Not yet. Our technology does not allow you to select a specific moment. You might find yourself reciting wedding vows, relaxing on a beach in Hawaii, or sitting through an algebra exam. Regardless of where you land, we’re confident the experience will be transformative.
