It's looking likely we will have data input in units that are different to the data that goes into the equations.
For now I'm just going to do hacks like
kilometers per day to meters per second:
a_new <- 0.0115740741 * a_old
We probably want to use something like the units package instead. But that is pretty complicated for our simple needs.
At some point, we should include good temporal consistency. Is a day 24 hours? What about leap seconds. etc. etc.
