Collection of physical constants and conversion factors.
Most constants are in SI units, so you can do
print '10 mile per minute is', 10*mile/minute, 'm/s or', 10*mile/(minute*knot), 'knots'
The list is not meant to be comprehensive, but just a convenient list for everyday use.

physical constants: imported from CODATA
unit conversion: see e.g. NIST special publication 811
Use at own risk: double-check values before calculating your Mars orbit-insertion burn.
Some constants exist in a few variants, which are marked with sufixes.
The ones without any suffix should be the most common one.
