<p>a general class to define a physical unit and convert from this unit to an appropriate SI unit.</p>

Milli to m to form mm=Milli*m. Moreover, a given floating point number x (or any other arithmetic object) can be converted from the physical unit to
the SI system, eg. 10*mm to create the value for 10mm which is the float number 0.01 in the SI system. In addition, a value in the SI unit can be
converted back to the given unit, eg. to express 0.01m in physical units of mm use 0.01/mm which will return 10.</p>
