Imagine getting to a solution is a pathway and you walk along it to find a solution, you find a tree in the path there is no way to get to the other side you could give up and say it is not possible to get to the solution but that is not true you could leave the path and walk around or climb over.

Imaginary numbers give you a way to leave the real numbers and find a solution. The solution is not always imaginary just because you used them to get it.

Imaginary is a bad name because they are actually numbers and the real numbers are just a subset of them.

We use imaginary numbers a lot in engineering, it would be impossible for modern control systems and power networks to work without them.

Sure, if you are a sane rational person, but if you are a pedantic nutter like me you will rage at the screen for years about it.

I read the book before I saw the old movie, I have never been more disappointed in a movie. The Fremen got done so dirty in that movie, Paul comes in and teaches them how to free themselves in typical white saviour nonsense. In the book the Fremen are warriors that Paul manipulates and uses as a weapon to fulfil the golden path.

To be fair this is a lot like finding a toddler with a hammer after they just put up a picture perfectly. You are impressed they hung the picture properly but suspect that things are about to go south very fast.

I thought this as well, also they are hardware description languages. Thinking of them as programming languages in my opinion is not correct.
