If you have 1m, and you square it, you get 1m-squared. But if you square 100cm, you get 10,000cm-squared. If squaring 100cm were to result in 100cm-squared, that would mean that squaring 1m results in 0.1m, not 1m. Likewise if dealing with m/s or any other unit of velocity.
Why do I care? I'm just fed up with all the lying. People who want to understand anything having to do with astral projection have to dig through a mountain of it.

I shall try to simplify this, You cannot add 3 apples and four oranges.
If I had four oranges, and wanted to get the number of oranges squared, I would have sixteen oranges.
If I had four oranges, and wanted to get the number of oranges cubed, I would have sixtyfour oranges.
Just because I am squaring or cubing the value, I would not end up with, I would notend up holding an orange, orange, or orange, orange, orange in my hand. I would still be and orange.
Just like if have had my oranges and increased the values by multiplying or addding, they are still oranges.
I hope this puts things right.
