Description

The GEOS log (and maybe some constitutive models?) assumes users are using a consistent unit system with the second (s) as the unit of time. This will not be true for very large/slow or very small/fast systems. For example, shock modeling typically uses μs/mm/mg. I think we should strongly consider removing any references to/dependencies on a specific unit system or allow the user to specify what unit system they're using.
