Actually they are imaginary numbers. A complex number is a number with both real and imaginary parts.
You really are just showing you don't understand them with that rant Dtewi. Just because you can't imagine the number 3+2i doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it's also impossible to visualise a negative number (ie. -3) in a physical form but they still exist. Also you don't have to use your imagination for imaginary numbers - they are a real mathematical concept. Also they are very useful in things like fluid dynamics.
