In Theoretical Physics it is common to use what physicists call "God Given"
natural units where constants like C for the speed of light or h-bar are set
to 1 (without units).

In this system, Power, which is [Energy] divided by [Time], is actually
Inverse [Time]-Squared.  This is because Energy has the same units as
inverse time.

Thus,     Power can be expressed in Seconds to the minus 2 power.
