Why convert from petastokes to femtostokes?

This conversion helps relate extremely large viscosity scales to extremely small ones, useful in planetary science and nanoscale fluid dynamics.

Is this converter suitable for engineering applications?

No, petastokes and femtostokes are primarily theoretical or pedagogical units; engineering usually uses SI units like m²/s.

What are the challenges of converting between these units?

The huge scale difference of 10^30 can lead to numerical precision issues, requiring careful handling of values.
