I'm thinking of investing in the stock market.

Invest in Nyan Cat. News is saying it's on a major upcurve.

Thank you, thank you very much.

I never said that we don't use them. I said that they have no real world counterparts.

@Etcetera

You said no such thing. You probably interpreted your statement that way, but I thought your statements referred to usefulness, which they specifically did refer to in your latest post. The closest you said to "no real world counterparts" is they "represent something" and complex numbers do represent things like changes in the state of a system between two times.

Also, what do irrationals represent in the real world? As in, like how positive and negative integers represent things.

@whizzball1

It was heavily implied. Regardless, they do not truly "represent something," (which is the equivalent to "real world counterpart).

Perfect third, a circle's radius circumference by its diameter, etc.

Elvis Beansly. LOVE IT.

So I saw that a new face as shown up, any news on whether or not they are joining?

No telling.

@Extra

Someone asked if they could join.

Some of the other ones on that page were funny too. Pope Beanedict was one.

If an irrational length is a real world counterpart, then so is an imaginary mass.

Hahahaha! That is amazing.

@whizzball1

What are you even talking about? I can have a third of a pie or a third of something else. Pi is a concept that's actually a thing. There is no counterpart to imaginary numbers.

@Etcetera

The imaginary mass of tachyons is also a concept that's actually a thing. Once we find tachyons, we'll have a thing that is imaginary in the real world.

(The length of the circumference of a unit circle is an irrational length, and you mentioned the length of the circumference as a real world counterpart. By that logic, the imaginary mass of tachyons is a real world counterpart.)

[whizzball1]

When the arguments you have with your friends are disagreements about scientific and mathematical concepts rather than the disagreements that other friends experience, you know you and your friends are different. xD

@whizzball1

By the concept of imaginary numbers, by definition, cannot be achieved in real life. And the problem with quantum theories is that they're nearly pure assumptions, and beliefs in particles that "have to be there" because we have no other explanation, currently, similar to Dark Matter.
