Use Siunitx package for dealing with units (#129)
It is complicated : [1] The International System of Units (si), https://www.bipm.org/en/ measurement-units/. [2] International System of Units from nist, http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/ index.html. And one will never get it right (space or not, half-space?) nor consistent so using that instead. I am not sure how times and hours, when to write digits and when in letter so I did not change much.. Did not touch the tables as ebooks on github actions seems to break when you look at them funny.
