Creating a blockchain time to human time converter #13

Show the conversion of block time to human time. For example, what is the equivalent of 400 blocks in days:hours:mins:seconds? Will need to go by the average time it takes to have a new block added to the blockchain.

I am thinking of taking the number of blocks there were made per day for 10/23/16-10/25/16 and averaging them to come up these conversions.... Blocks/day = 142 Blocks/hour = 5.9167 Blocks/min = .0986

"human time"? is this some new time-scale that i am unaware of?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time#World_time

It's probably best that the app uses the worldwide universal time-scale (UTC) instead of some made up time-scale. No?
