If you assume that Alien is real, you can take a cube root of it, and get a single value. However, if we assume that Alien is complex, it will have three distinct values.

You need to consider units! 1m ≠1m³

So 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.

Basically 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.

How tf do you figure Alien has a value of one, because it was the first in the franchise? That doesn’t mean it equals one. x = 1x
