It would be great if someone=20=20 would be willing to spend the time to update const/calc-units-update.el to implement the current "official" values in GSL. At the moment these=20=20 are essentially at CODATA 1998, and they were updated last in 2002. My apologies that I do not implement it myself, I am simply to busy=20=20 these days. I hope someone else is up to the task and I, at least,=20=20 would really appreciate it! The current values can be found in the article CODATA Recommended Values of the Fundamental Physical Constants: 2006 on the arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/0801.0028 and at physics.nist.gov/constants Maybe one could even utilize the TeX code of the arXiv submission? A related question: Are there people around who would be interested to=20=20 include atomic/isotopic weights as constants in GSL?
