Quantum mechanics uses complex arithmetic. It's not that the quantum universe is imaginary; rather, it is the reality, and our macroscopic universe is the emergent insanity.

It's one way of interpreting the data/laws. Math is just a language. I also have my doubts about real numbers (infinite precision) having any part in the actual implementation of our world's physics.
You may see that complex numbers and matrices can express certain patterns you observe in your experimental data, so you use them (math, the language), but that doesn't mean there aren't an infinity (take that trollOP!) of isomorphic representations to those complex numbers or those matrices.

Yeah, ``imaginary'' is just a label. Complex arithmetic is just a formal system. Most mathematics in physics just describes the emergent macroscopic integration of microscopic phenomenon, which in reality is probably something more akin to discrete cellular automata.
The problem with math is: mathematician uses a mathematical metaphor to describe some concept. The metaphor isn't the thing he describes. But math allows one to take the metaphor, and run with it, making arguments that are built entirely on metaphor, but which bear no relation to the real underlying concept. And he believes that whatever conclusions he draws from the metaphor must, therefore, apply to the original concept.

Ok, wtf? Are you guys really so fucked up, that you don't use some techniques only because they are somehow related to jews. Do you people really hate jews that much? And also, why the hell would you let jews have better stuff than you have. Idiots.

Jews are the enemies of subjective idealism and dynamic typing.

Mathematics is a fanaticism of mechanistic objectivity and objectification. Genuinely "subjective" agents are not acknowledged in hard science--not because they aren't palpable, but because there is an agreement, unstated or stated, not to mention them.

Why would we need their "God" and "Infinity"?

Subjective idealism is a bankrupt solipsism promoted by theists and other miscreants looking to unjustifiably assert their control over others by subverting the truth provided by objective realism. It is a philosophy of the psychopath. And this is quite evident in promotion of dynamically typed languages. If something that acts like a duck can be treated as a duck, than what is to stop a subjectively immoral act from passing itself off as a robust moral realism? Wherein does the insanity end?

Nope. Theiests, believing in a jewish ideals, never used it, as subjectivism would had hit them first. Theists love to think, that "God" is objective, not a subjective entity, you can easily discard.

"Morality" is subjective. If it's good for me, then it's moral. Like anarchy or egoism.

Then how to explain the ``double-slit'' experiment revealing the counter-intuitive wave-particle duality of photons.

You did this experiment yourself in your lab, with call components build by yourself? Probably some infinitesimal miscalculations. You know, infinity leads to paradoxes.

The world you live in.
Oh, also, do you expect that if you shoot yourself in your head, you'll emerge with your mind intact (since you beleive minds are immaterial).

define "world"
define "live"

Exactly! Theists think, that "God" is objective. They are subconsciously applying the principles of subjective idealism to cast their ``God'' in the legitimate light of objectivism. Those who have been conditioned to unquestionably subscribe to subjectivism fall for the ruse. Hence objective idealism is born. This is not to be confused with objective realism, or simply objectivism, which is what I promote.
