You mean enum literals? They're case-insensitive. Note the difference in mS and Ms!

"Time" in physics is normally thought about as duration before/after a reference "event"/point in time/space - or "duration between two events/points in time/space. 

I cannot see what an item with dimension time in some physical equation has to do with Ada.Real_Time.
