""" Fundamental Physical Constants

    These constants are taken from CODATA Recommended Values of the
    Fundamental Physical Constants: 2002. They may be found at
    physics.nist.gov/constants. The values are stored in the dictionary
    physical_constants as a tuple containing the value, the units, and
    the relative precision, in that order. All constants are in SI units
    unless otherwise stated.

    Several helper functions are provided:

    value(key) returns the value of the physical constant.
    unit(key) returns the units of the physical constant.
    precision(key) returns the relative precision of the physical constant.
    find(sub) prints out a list of keys containing the string sub.
