Bootstrap units for padding margin

I tried to google and read the bootstrap documents website but i cant find the answer. I watched Guil's bootstrap videos and he mentions that setting pt-4 on the container padds top padding of 1.5rem. Where can i find unit guidelines for bootstrap? Wouldnt 4 just be 4 rem?

I know what you mean, I would expect 4 to be 4rem.

You can see how spacing is calculated on the links below:
