minus-squareFlying SquidOPlink16•1 month agoSo you’re saying Alien is a measure of length and Alien³ is a measure of volume? Americans will do anything but use the metric system.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•1 month agoBasically any unit can be squared, cubed or whatever, but the resulting unit doesn’t always make sense in the physical world. For example, m/s^2 isn’t velocity. It’s acceleration. If you have a formula that gives you an answer in kg^3, you probably made a mistake somewhere.
You need to consider units! 1m ≠1m³
