I am not clear on that cube thing, actually.

What? is gravity not inverse quadratic?

Yes, the Newtonian force a mass exerts on another mass far away from the first one falls off as the square of the distance. It's the word "cube" that confuses me.

I think the quote was an image for a mental question, which could be rephrased as:

Is this power a 2 or a 3?

2, but his original statement was 2x3 :)
