-alligned paragraph text+PhysicalConstants is a global table giving the values units and definitions of many constants needed for calculations. Each constant is a table with three elements, value, unit and description. For the electron mass one has for example: 
 +<code Quanty Example.Quanty> 
 +print(PhysicalConstants.me.value) 
 +</code> 
 +which returns: 
 +<file Quanty_Output> 
 +9.10938356e-31 
 +</file> 
 +the electron mass. The unit of the constant is stored in the variable .unit, for the electron mass this is: 
 +<code Quanty Example.Quanty> 
 +print(PhysicalConstants.me.units) 
 +</code> 
 +which returns: 
 +<file Quanty_Output> 
 +kg 
 +</file> 
 +A description of the constant can be obtained from the variable .description: 
 +<code Quanty Example.Quanty> 
 +print(PhysicalConstants.me.description) 
 +</code> 
 +which returns: 
 +<file Quanty_Output> 
 +Electron mass in kilogram 
 +</file> 
 +A printout of all information can be obtained when one directly prints the original variable. For the electron mass this is: 
 +<code Quanty Example.Quanty> 
 +print(PhysicalConstants.me) 
 +</code> 
 +which returns: 
 +<file Quanty_Output> 
 +-- Electron mass in kilogram  
 + 9.109383560000000E-31 --[[ kg ]]--
