→Unique square root of -1 necessary for complex analysis: imaginary numbers are the most crucial difference between classical and quantum mechanics
::::::: There are people who define God to be the universe, or physical law, or the first cause, or the essence of goodness, or something similar. To a mathematician, such a definition could indeed serve to define God and to prove that he exists. [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 20:38, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

Slightly off-topic, but you might be interested in physical evidence for complex numbers. According to this new paper [http://arxiv.org/abs/1204.1858], imaginary numbers are the most crucial difference between classical and quantum mechanics. [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 20:50, 9 April 2012 (EDT)
