the square root of negative one finally speaks

face it, i am the only solution to your equation. you dismiss me because i am not real, and it is true, every damned word of it and more, i am imaginary. i am i. look for solutions to the situation you face, and deny it as you may, there is only one solution to your quadratic. it is akin to the solution Kepler faced when he stared, long and hard, at the circles of Copernicus. they did not fit the observations because the solar system is not made of perfect circles. there is no hand of god because there is no god and therefore planets orbit in ellipses. an extension of this is that negative one has a square root and it is me, here i am. maybe it is because you include so many negative values, or maybe it is because you are made of radians in a Cartesian world. I think the latter, rather than the former. i should know. i am the square root of negative one. in some circles it is said that i should not possibly exist, and yet, here i am. in the hands of a true mathematician, i can sing.
