/sci/ - Science & Math

Just why?
And how?

Some math dude was sitting on his ass, thinking about math, jerking off, or maybe fucking maids, living the non-peasant life.
And then he decided "Hypothetically let's say there IS a number that is a square root of a negative number. Why fucking not?"

And....what? What is the real-life practical useful purpose of this number?

If this imaginary number is used it physics...
How the fuck is this even, uh, possible to exist in real life? I mean this is an imaginary number, some dude made a "hypothetical hypothesis" a-la "What if?"
This is like me saying.
>Let's say hypothetically I had 1 000 000 dollars and 15 bitches sucking my dick daily.
And somehow this shit becomes just useful in physics or wherever else so that every school mf has to learn it.

I know about numbers sets just saying.

Should I just "eat" it and live with it?

Just like I accepted negative numbers
>I have minus seven apples
Not possible

Just like I accepted irrational numbers.
There's no fractals in real life, (at least in macro and mega worlds)

And yet two concepts above were very fucking useful in maths and physics.

Let me guess: you need more?
