minus-squareFlying SquidOPlinkfedilink15•5 months 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@TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.ziplinkfedilink4•5 months 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.
