Centuries of mathematicians losing their MINDS over negative numbers, and then some chaos-loving genius says "hey what if we take the square root of -1?" and invents imaginary numbers! 🤯 If Descartes thought negatives were 'false,' imagine his ghost watching us calculate with i while screaming in 17th century French! The mathematical equivalent of telling someone scared of puppies that now we have INVISIBLE GHOST PUPPIES. Math history: where yesterday's "utter nonsense" is today's homework assignment!
