Description
After some time, we have upgraded this app to be compatible with current iOS versions!
Have you thought about how old you are - in meters?
Or how tall you are - in seconds?
Or how many miles it is until your next birthday?
Let's think out of the box, relativistically. While spacetime intervals are constant, length and time can be converted to each other. This calculator makes use of geometrized units (where the speed of light is unity) and lets you convert conveniently between length and time.
Is this a useful conversion tool in your day-to-day life? Probably not. But maybe it will let you think about the world a little differently. And amuse your friends and family at the same time!
For a technical reference, refer to "Gravitation", by Misner, Thorne and Wheeler, 1973, W.H. Freeman and Company, pp. 35-36.
To make things more accessible to the average user, we have tried to avoid displaying scientific notation in numbers as much as possible and, instead, make use of more common terms, such as "billions of miles" and "milliseconds".
Now upgraded with the ability to choose different lengths and times for input (inches, hours, days, etc.)!

Ratings and Reviews
This shows truth is truly stranger than fiction
Just trying to make sense of these scientifically accurate conversions is fascinating and lots of fun. It's so simple and easy to use, giving you an entirely new way to think about the world around us. These interesting conversions can be used to create intriguing guaranteed conversation starters - like arranging to meet someone to go out, in miles from now. The more you think about it the more amazing it gets...
A great application that can also be used by students
As a political scientist I found an enjoyable outlet for my classes. It will be exciting for my students to play with conversions. This adds a new dimension for a length to time or time to length. Seconds to millions of miles, or meters to nanoseconds are exciting concepts. It really is a wonderful game.
interesting lol
It does what it says, and is kinds interesting to fool with when your bored. I agree with the other reviews that there should be a way to change between seconds, hours, days, feet, inches, etc. Over all I like it, and it's free now!!
Good job, there's a lot of potential here. . .
