## Overview

Δt = γ·Δτ with γ = 1/√(1−v²/c²): both clock views for any speed below c, from the 0.6c hand-check case to muon lifetimes at 0.998c.

## Inputs

- **Speed input** (select)
- **β (v/c)** (number): e.g. 0.6
- **Speed v (m/s)** (number): e.g. 1.8e8
- **The interval is measured by** (select)
- **Time interval** (number): e.g. 10
- **Time unit** (select)

## When to use

- Use it when you need to convert numeric data content quickly in the browser.
- Helpful for science & education workflows that need repeatable inputs and fast results.
- Useful when you want to test input and output behavior before integrating the workflow elsewhere.

## How it works

- Provide Speed input, β (v/c), Speed v (m/s), The interval is measured by as input to the tool.
- The tool processes the request and returns a text result.
- For repeatable workflows, use the API endpoint shown on the page after validating the result interactively.

## Use cases

- Convert numeric data data during debugging or QA.
- Validate expected output before using the API or automation flows.
- Compare small variations of input to understand output differences quickly.
