PhysicalConstants
-----------------
For some idealised test it can be useful to overwrite the value of
some physical constants. In particular the value of the gravitational
constant. SWIFT offers an optional parameter to overwrite the value of
that constant.

Note that this set :math:`G` to the specified value in the internal system
of units. Setting a value of `1` when using the system of units (10^10 Msun,
Mpc, km/s) will mean that :math:`G_N=1` in these units [#f2]_ instead of the
normal value :math:`G_N=43.00927`.
