Interstellar Miller planet

[zindan]

Okay, could I get some help calculating some time slippage thank you. 
I wanna be able to make  like a function of it. I wanna know how long 1 second is on MP compared to earthly time. 

For those who have not seen the movie, 1 hour on MP equals to 7 years on earth. 7 years = 61320 hours

1 hour on earth = t 
1 hour on Miller planet (MP) = h

t = 61320h

t/60 = 1022  -> this means 1 minute on earth is 1022 minutes on MP 

(t/60)/60 -> 17,03333   -> 1 second on earth is 17 seconds on MP

Is this correct?

what you did does not make sense.

 

if 1 hour on MP is 7 years on earth:

 

1 hour on MP = 61320 hours on earth.

 

1 second on MP = 61320 seconds on earth

Not quite. 61320 hours is 7 years.

 

One Earth year = 8760 hours (365 * 24)

 

8760 * 7 = 61320

 

If the premise is that 1 MP hour = 7 Earth years, we can do some basic math to go further.

 

1 hour = 60 minutes

 

7 Earth years = 60 MP minutes

 

61320 Earth Hours = 60 MP minutes

 

Now let's see if we can break it down further. Let's get one MP minute. We divide 60/60 = 1 MP minute

 

Now we take:

61320 / 60 = 1022 hours

 

That means 1 MP minute = 1022 Earth Hours

 

Now we can do that one further time to get seconds

1 minute = 60 seconds

 

1022 Earth Hours = 60 MP seconds

 

So the final result, assuming my math is correct, is as follows:

1022 Earth Hours / 60 = 17.03 Earth Hours.

 

That means in one second, on the Miller Planet, 17 Earth hours will pass.

You had the right idea, but you didn't convert units correctly to keep everything in line. Your mistake was 61320h / 60 = 1022m, when it would be 1022h.

 

You can reverse calculate that by following here:

1 second * 60 = 60 seconds (1m)

60 seconds (1m) * 60 = 3600 seconds (1h)

 

3600 seconds * 17 = 61200 (120 off due to rounding errors in my math: the assumption that it is 17, instead of 17.0333 repeating).

 

Doing the math further actually shows that @Noyu did indeed have the correct answer, since 17.03333 hours, is roughly equal to 61320 seconds.

 

So you're both right, though the OP's math was incorrect, due to not converting units as necessary.
