Imaginary numbers are... what the fuck?!

Imaginary numbers do not exist! They have no real value! They defy the laws of mathematics!!

The Square Root of -1 is not i! It has no answer!

I mean really. Here is what a normal conversation would be like with me:

You: "The Square Root of -1 is-"

Me: "Negative numbers have no square root".

You: "Yeah they do! You just have to use your imagination!"

Me: "But they don't exist."

You: "Yes. I mean no. They're imaginary. They don't have a real value. They have an imaginary value."

Me: "Imaginary means fake. Imaginary numbers are not real, they have no answer, they don't make any sense whatsoever."

You: "But all numbers have a value! All equations, like the square root of -1, have an answer."

Me: "What is 5 divided by 0?"

You: "It has no ans- but imagin- gah!"

/rant from me not knowing anything about imaginary numbers or how they are applied in mathematics, calculus, algebra, trigonometry, geometry or any other branch



Kimi wa ne tashika ni ano toki watashi no soba ni ita
