time jumping
Skipping through eras
Time jumping refers to the concept of moving between different points in time, typically as a narrative device in fiction or as a theoretical possibility in physics discussions.
In storytelling, time jumping describes when a plot shifts forward or backward in time, skipping over intervening events.
The term also appears in speculative contexts about actual temporal displacement, though this remains firmly in the realm of science fiction.
The novel's time jumping between decades made it hard to follow.
