Actually I've just had a look at the Friedmann equations and so now I know what a and k are. I find I was wrongly taking k to be Boltzmann's constant (seeing as Doublesox's equation contains temperature so is implicitly thermodynamic) but it is isn't that. In the context of Friedmann's equations, k is a dimensionless parameter, set to be between -1 and +1, according to whether a 3-spherical, flat or hyperbolic universe is being considered. So it is a sort of "shape" factor. a, on the other hand is the "scale factor", again dimensionless.
So I need to re-do my dimension check on the second term in the LHS bracket. I now get something a lot simpler, viz. L²/T². So it is still a nonsense, as one cannot add terms with different dimensions, but at least we don't have to worry about daft things like √M. Maybe if Doublesox can add something to the first term with dimensions L², he can make it look more superficially plausible, at least.
Oh is this you in a round-about way saying you may have been wrong... Let me help you articulate it better, you are wrong.
