* A utility class to convert between different units of time.

This class supports conversions between the following units:
*
* - seconds
* - minutes
* - hours
* - days
* - weeks
* - months (approximated as 30.44 days)
* - years (approximated as 365.25 days)
*
*
* The conversion is based on predefined constants in seconds.
* Results are rounded to three decimal places for consistency.

This class is final and cannot be instantiated.
