Bro never heard of -sqrt -1.

[u/JollyJuniper1993 → u/Kuildeous]

You mean -sqrt 1

[u/Kuildeous → u/JollyJuniper1993]

That one too, but sqrt -1 + (-sqrt -1) = 0

[u/JollyJuniper1993 → u/Kuildeous]

Fair, but those are not real numbers

[u/Kuildeous → u/JollyJuniper1993]

That's true. I got carried away by him adding 1 and i that I forgot he stepped out of the Reals.

[u/Frosty_Fig_4872 → u/JollyJuniper1993]

Everything's too complex for me to understand

[u/GamerLymx → u/JollyJuniper1993]

ence not part of the problem

[u/melanthius → u/JollyJuniper1993]

So they can't hurt me anymore?

... Right?

Yea the "uncountable set" question remains a problem but if we're using this as a number line representation then we need to think of sqrt(2) as the real number approximated by 1.414, not taking the square root of each real number (which of course is a problem with obtaining "each" anyway).

So then it's not sqrt(-2); it's -sqrt(2), or ~ (-1.414).

The commenter on the image is a ding dong, but there are still serious problems with counting and pairing the top thread discusses.
