I honestly didn’t even see the link to the paper, overshadowed as it was by Noether’s.
Two-letter unit names are not awesome. We use them in a few places in physics but not much in the intro series. This may sound nitpicks but anything that makes units or math more confusing for students is something I would want to avoid.
All that said, I’m still pro. We need a unit, and Noether is one who deserves recognition.
