Here’s a fun computational tool I created to help visualize the implications of the Timestream Discontinuity between the real world (Meatspace) and the malfunctioning virtual world (Havencosm) as depicted in my novels GRONE, LONGSTAR, and the upcoming books ORUS and PHADE.

If you’ve read GRONE, you know that time inside the Havencosm elapses 122,000 times faster than time here in the real world of Meatspace. This means that for every hour that passes on a clock in Meatspace, almost 14 years pass in the Havencosm. Imagine the implications: for every month that passes for us, 10,000 years elapse inside the Havencosm.

Using the tool is simple: just enter a numeric value in one of the input boxes, select the unit you wish to convert from (seconds, minutes, hours, days, or years), and tap the Convert button.
