SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on converting energy units from GeV to Kelvin, meters, seconds, and density in kg/m³. The natural units where c, h, and k_B equal 1 are utilized for these conversions. The participant successfully converted 1 GeV to meters using the formula λ = hc/E, yielding a result of 8.05 × 10¹⁴ m. However, they require additional formulas to complete the conversions for Kelvin, seconds, and density.
