Imaginary Number:
“… In the fundamental accounting of energy behaviors, fourth and fifth power relationships occur. The scientists found that they could accommodate the fourth and fifth powering by use of non-modelable, complex number calculations by involving the square root of minus one. In effect this calculation of imaginary number is accomplished by borrowing ‘hour’ from ‘tomorrow’s clock’ to solve the problem after which we repay tomorrow.”
