What are Shake and Fortnight

A 'shake' is a unit of time commonly used in nuclear physics to describe extremely short periods. It equals 10 nanoseconds, which is 10 billionths of a second. This term was coined as it represents the approximate time it takes for a neutron to travel a distance of one free mean path, making it a convenient measure for nuclear reactions.

A 'fortnight' is a unit of time that equals 14 days or two weeks. The word is derived from the Old English phrase 'feowertyne niht,' meaning 'fourteen nights.' Fortnights are commonly used in British and Commonwealth countries and serve as a convenient measure for biweekly occurrences.

History of Shake and Fortnight

The Shake to Fortnight Converter has its roots in the distinct need for converting between vastly different time frames: the extraordinarily brief shake used in nuclear physics and the fortnightly time span commonly used in cultural or biweekly events. It fosters an understanding of scale across disciplines.
