Very interesting way of thinking about it, I don’t recall it ever being presented that way before. Thanks

- anon291 11mo agoEverything makes sense when you see I for what it is -- an escape from the number line rotated by ninety degrees. Even the roots of a parabola that doesn't hit the z axis are actually the roots of the ninety degree rotated inverse analogue hitting the imaginary plane. Since the apex of such a parabola is always centered at 0i, the imaginary places it hits are symmetric, explaining why if a + bi is one imaginary root, then a - bi is as well. https://teaching-math.com/unlock-the-secrets-of-complex-roots-with-this-mind-blowing-math-trick/ https://teaching-math.com/unlock-the-secrets-of-complex-root... Again... There is nothing weird about imaginary numbers. They actually make a lot of sense. It's actually insane to only do math in one dimension when our world has three.
