'A new thought experiment indicates that quantum mechanics doesn't work without strange numbers that turn negative when squared.'
'Mathematicians started calling those familiar numbers "real" and the apparently impossible breed of numbers "imaginary."
Imaginary numbers, labeled with units of i (where, for instance, (2i)2 = -4), gradually became fixtures in the abstract realm of mathematics.'
Is this the analogy to complex numbers used in electronics to describe different types of energy and transformations of it?
