How could it be! One is trancendental and the other is not.
I have a question to you.
Can a Transcendental number to the power of algebraic number be a Trascendental number?

For example take ##e^{\varphi}##, where ##\varphi## is the golden number solution to ##x^2+x+1=0##, how would one prove that it's transcendental?

Can ##\pi## be a Transcendental number raise to the power of an algebraic number?

That would be interesting if it's possible, and if it's not then I would welcome a proof/argument why it's not.

Looks like its that time again. This thread has run its transcendental course back to itself and so its a good time to close it.

Thank you all for contributing here.
