Effortlessly Convert Weeks to Shakes with Precision

Discover how the Week to Shake Converter simplifies time conversions. Developed by Newtum, this tool is your go-to solution for quick and accurate conversions that spark curiosity in the realms of physics and time measurement.

What are Week and Shake

A week is a time unit equal to seven days. It is the standard time period used for cycles of rest days in most parts of the world, mostly alongside—although not strictly part of—the Gregorian calendar. The days of the week were named after the classical planets (derived from the astrological system of planetary hours) in the Roman era.

A shake is an informal unit of time equal to 10 nanoseconds, or 10^-8 seconds. It is used predominantly in nuclear physics, where reactions and events often occur on this time scale. The term comes from the phrase 'two shakes of a lamb's tail,' which indicates a very short time interval. One shake is enough time for a particle traveling at nearly the speed of light to traverse a distance comparable to the diameter of a large atomic nucleus.

History of Week and Shake

The concept of converting weeks to shakes is not rooted in historical practices but rather a modern computational tool. This conversion is essential for specific scientific and technical fields where understanding and measuring very short intervals of time is crucial, such as in nuclear physics.
