i is a lie.
One of the basic proof for i involves calculating graphs based on the assumption that i is in a whole 'nother dimension than real numbers. They put i on another axis than other numbers, like it's not on the same scale. Any middleschool kid can tell you that that's a big no-no. That's like putting all the sixes on one axis and all the other numbers on another axis, and then try to do calculations based on this. Imaginary numbers are just a product of professors with heads too far up their asses.
