People thought the square root of -1 was wrong logic too, but you see where that went.
NOt that im a math guy, but AFAIK, people thought (and still think) that the root of negative one does not exist. And theyre correct.
They use "i" to represent the square root of negative numbers because its useful for figuring certain things out. But that doesnt make it real. Thats why "i" isnt a real number. Its an imaginary number. which is probably why they call it "i".
For example, unicrons aren't real. But the notion of a unicorn in a model might be able to help me solve some sort of problem or answer some sort of question... who knows about what maybe somehting about horse behavior.
THe point is that just because we can represent something thats imaginary and even use that representation to answer a question or solve a problem doesnt mean that suddenly its freaky friday and the rules don't apply anymore.
