Abstract
We produce an infinite family of transcendental numbers which, when raised to their own power, become rational. We extend the method, to investigate positive rational solutions to the equation , where is a fixed algebraic number. We then explore the consequences of being rational, if is rational and is a fixed integer polynomial.
