/**
 * Easy access methods for the Absolute Time DoubleScalar. Instead of:
 * 
 * <pre>
 * DoubleScalar.Abs&lt;TimeUnit&gt; value = new DoubleScalar.Abs&lt;TimeUnit&gt;(100.0, TimeUnit.SI);
 * </pre>
 * 
 * we can now write:
 * 
 * <pre>
 * Time value = new Time(100.0, TimeUnit.BASE);
 * </pre>
 * 
 * The compiler will automatically recognize which units belong to which quantity, and whether the quantity type and the unit
 * used are compatible.
 * <p>
 * Note that when the offset of a stored absolute Time becomes large, precision of a double might not be enough for the required
 * resolution of a Time. A double has around 16 significant digits (52 bit mantissa). This means that when we need to have a
 * double Time with TimeUnit.BASE as its unit, the largest value where the ms precision is reached is 2^51 = 2.3E15, which is
 * around 71000 years. This is sufficient to store a date in the 21st Century with a BASE or an Epoch offset precise to a
 * microsecond.
